[Doc-SIG] translating the python tutorial in french

[rob wilco]

 Hello Doc-Sig List,
I have looked for an up to date version of the "official" python tutorial in
french. I haven't found one. If no one is on it, can I do/maintain it? I am
a french IT engineer, not a python hacker (yet), I have done translations
before.
If you are all right with that, i'll take any info you have about the tools
you use, the organization/process and all that ...


Also, I reviewed the links toward the python documentation in french, that
page :
http://www.python.org/doc/NonEnglish.html#french
I copied/pasted the section below and added my comments preceded by a '#'
when I felt there was a need to do so.

These documentations are quite old in general, and this section is far from
exhaustive. The link toward the french python mailing list is indeed useful,
apart from that, it is my humble suggestion that efforts would be saved by
delegating the updating of the list of french python documentation to the
search engines. Plus, new users would not be led to pages from sometimes 5
years ago.

Cheers,

Rob Wilco
