Fwd: Suggestions for changes to the edu-sig list
by Andre Roberge May 23, 2014

May 23, 2014

I hope this is the right mailing list... I can no longer maintain the edu-sig page; could someone take care of this please? (and also remove my name at the bottom of the page) André ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Joanne Daudier <joanne(a)learnstreet.com> Date: Thu, Apr 25, 2013 at 3:27 AM Subject: Suggestions for changes to the edu-sig list To: andre.roberge(a)gmail.com Hi Andre: My name is Joanne Daudier, and I'm with LearnStreet, an online platform for computer programming education. We are creating a new tool <http://www.learnstreet.com/teacher> to help computer science teachers teach Python with ease . The tool includes a teacher dashboard, an autograder, practice exercises, projects, and lessons on programming languages and computer science topics. We believe that every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn to code, so we've created these free resources for educators around the world. *Could you help us with our mission by adding LearnStreet's teacher pilot program to the edu-sig list?* Thank you!

Fwd: Please cease using obsolete name "Win32all"

See the individual releases for details. > > You may also wish to download Win32all, Mark Hammond's add-on that includes the Win32 API, COM support, and Pythonwin extensions. It's available from the pywin32 project on SourceForge. > > ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ > However, may I emphasize, again, that use of the term “win32all” for the product is years obsolete. When you next have an opportunity to update this page, you might want to change that term to “pywin32”. Also, to prevent confusion, you could mention that “pywin32” is also used on 64 bit versions of Windows. > -- > Vernon Cole > -- http://www.voidspace.org.uk/ May you do good and not evil May you find forgiveness for yourself and forgive others May you share freely, never taking more than you give. -- the sqlite blessing http://www.sqlite.org/different.html

Looking for some volunteers
by Noah Kantrowitz June 14, 2013

June 14, 2013

As we transition in to PyCon 2014, I would like to get the 2012 and 2013 sites archived to static HTML. I'm looking for a few volunteers to work with me on this project. httrack can handle the bulk of the work, but if anyone would like to help out building the scraper config and getting the final HTML cleaned up and ready, it would help me out a lot. If you are interested, please respond to me off list. --Noah

Hello, We're getting a fair amount of spam on the Python Wiki. Can someone with administrative privileges check that the textcha feature is enabled and has been given a set of effective questions? Thanks, Paul
