[python-uk] 2nd London Python Dojo - 18:30 15 October 2009 at Fry-IT

[Nicholas Tollervey]

Tim,

Thanks for the heads up... you've allayed my fears about the learning  
curve. Sounds like having *both* as options for participants is  
definitely a good idea and I'd definitely encourage people to "show  
off" these tools should they wish to use them. I'll add them to the  
list ;-)

Nicholas.
