As promised, everyone moved their knowledge forward, and I personally felt like I turned a corner in my understanding; something clicked and came together.

How to inject beauty in a coyote ugly code base.

The second annual Python Sprint @ Google is happening: August 22-25 (Wed-Sat), in Mountain View and Chicago.

In Part I we ask the question: "Is there a place and opportunity for truly beautiful code and programming pearls in real world of legacy applications and enterprise software?".

Steve has just agreed to become a correspondent for Python Magazine. What do people need to know?

We're closing in on the first Python 3000 alpha release (promised for the end of August). I'd love help with fixing the last 11 unit tests that are still failing.

We've decided to hold the RIA conference at a later date. Instead, you can now extend your Flex and AIR experience for an entire week.

Last week I started a Python 3000 FAQ, and solicited additional questions. Here are some additional answers.

Some questions that people often ask about Python 3000 (and answers). (First in a series of posts.)

In my previous post I brought up the topic of code formatting. This time I'd like to bump it up a level of abstraction to the structure of the code itself. To what extent do you think teams should establish policies for code structure, and what do you think is the best way to structure flow in the presence of potential errors?

The materials for the tutorial I presented at PyCon 2007 and OSCON 2007 are now available on my website (with links).
