Woah.  I didn't know that was there.  Good to know.

Again, while a tutorial with example code would be most excellent, all I
am suggesting is just a few short paragraphs explaining some different
types of uses for Python and which frameworks would be best.  Something
that could be up next week rather than in 6 months.

The main categories I'm interested in for my own uses are:
	Shell scripts, system maintenance scripts
	Server scripts, cgi
	GUI application scripting (stuff typically done with Applescript)

Though another obvious one is:
	Full GUI application development

Another thing that I would be interested in seeing in a "state of python"
document is a short discussion of the relationship between pyobjc and Mac
Python.
