The C APIs to return an object's size have been update to consistently use the form PyXXX_Size, e.g. PySequence_Size and PyDict_Size. In previous versions, the abstract interfaces used PyXXX_Length and the concrete interfaces used PyXXX_Size. The old names, e.g. PyObject_Length, are still available for backwards compatibility at the API level, but are deprecated...

He plans to attend the first day ("Ubuntu Love Day") on behalf of the PSF. Ubuntu uses Python extensively, as does founder Mark Shuttleworth, who is also extremely wealthy. D.

He feels there is a lack of a centralized place that acts as a rallying point for the community. For example, there is no one place people can go to find out what the community-supported web frameworks are. Shuttleworth suggested having a place that lists the best of breed in hopes of getting developers to work on them instead of constantly reinventing...
