The Python Software Activity (PSA) needs your donation!

Python exists thanks to the efforts of many people.  For as little as
$50 per year, you can help the PSA coordinate those efforts by
maintaining web, ftp and email services, organizing python workshops,
and supporting the Python community in other ways.  See <reference>
for more info.
