S. Deibel asked, should assistants also get some pay? M. von Löwis asked, did K. Kaiser receive "training" when he b...

• PSF Community Service Awards

  ...Job Board for the last several years. The fact that the Job Board exists, and is available free of charge to anyone looking to hire people with Python skills, is possibly more central to Python's rise in popularity than we appreciate. PyCon chairman David Goodger paid tribute to the Job Board as helping him out of unemployment in his opening remarks this year, and I know there are dozens if not hundreds of others who should be similarly grateful to Peter and Martin.

• Python 2.0

  ...jobs were carried out throughout the source code. All C code was converted to ANSI C; we got rid of all uses of the Py_PROTO() macro, which makes the header files a lot more readable. Most of the portability hacks were moved to a new header file, pyport.h; several other new header files were added and some old header files were removed, in an attempt to create a more rational set of header files. (Few of these ever need to be included explicitly; they are all included by Python.h.) ...

• Python Humor

  ...job that scanned mailing lists and newsgroups, and posted "responses" to interesting messages. Sadly, all the GNU machines got moved recently, they put passwords on their accounts, and I was only able to rescue the tim.py script, which I include below. I've asked the FSF for the source code to my system, called the Python-Emacs Extension for Enabling Workable Elisp (called PEE EWE) which included the stallman.py and witty.py modules, but all I got back was a MIME encoded email written...
