So after getting a bunch of responses, would anyone be able to do November
20 or 21? I chose that weekend since it generally fits with the availability
I've seen, and it also coincides with the planned "bug days" for the Python
3.2 beta cycle (see
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2010-October/104871.html).

If that doesn't work for you, look forward to a December date.
