My impressions of the Python Conference 2007 in Dallas, Texas, written up on the plane home while it was still fresh in my mind.

Video and powerpoint slides of my recent Python 3000 talks are now online.

Early bird registration ends January 15.

This week, a number of Python developers (core and otherwise) and some Googlers got together in Mountain View and New York for a four-day Python and Python-3000 (Py3k) development sprint. Here's what we've done.

Python is now an approved language in Google's yearly Code Jam coding contest.

Two days ago, Alan Kay gave a very inspiring keynote here at EuroPython. I can't possibly do it justice but I want to describe it anyway.

Consider this a set of shameless self-promotional plugs: the Python 3000 travels around the world, and my Python blog is being translated into Chinese!

How long have you used Python? 10 years or longer? Please tell us how you first heard of the language, how you first used it, and how you helped develop it (if you did). More recent reminiscences are welcome too!

Another plug for Django.

Yesterday I gave a talk on Python 3000 at the ACCU 2006 conference in Oxford. The slides are now online.
