<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am trying to get Python established here in the
Philippines. Currently I am in charge of operations at a business based in
Manila and I have asked my IT staff to start using Python (with some
success).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A local university has now asked that I give a talk
to their IT people on Python - so here is an opportunity to spread the word and
get some more converts and maybe introduce python into their computer science
courses.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any help I can get would be much appreciated - such
as language comparisons, companies and systems that use python, debates about
what python is good for (almost everything), examples of elegant
code..</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I was a member of the Forth Interest Group in
the USA we learned that Forth was used on the buggy that went to mars, that it
started life controlling huge radio telescopes which only had 4k (yes 4k) of
memory for both language and application.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anything like the above concerning python would be
useful.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any other suggestions would help also, the audience
will have computers, so a demonstration of small workshop would also be good -
the presentation/session is for 4 hours on the 10th February.</FONT></DIV>
