Kirby,

I haven't heard from anyone else on my question. At this point, all my 
code is short snippets!

Is the PDXpython group a social, professional, advocacy, technical, 
educational or tutorial gathering for software engineers, advanced 
amateurs or newbies? Seems like it could be any or all of these, and the 
group may wish to talk about what they want it to be.

Back to the topic of Python, the OSCON website has presentation files 
from many of the talks, including some video. The slides from Guido's 
talk about Python 3000 and a pdf of David Goodger's talk "Code Like a 
Pythonista" are available for free download (and both look excellent to me):

There is also a talk about Python on multicore processors, but I haven't 
looked at it:
