Pictures from the 1998 Python Conference in Houston

If you weren't, see what you missed, and put faces to some famous names.
In any case, enjoy! (Click on any picture to enlarge it.)
--Guido van Rossum
Note: I haven't identified some people. If you can provide
a name for any of the question marks below, I'd be grateful!
(There are other, more verbal, reports of the conference, such as Andrew
Kuchling's diary, and Uche
Ogbuji's report - with pictures! - for the Python
journal.)
