Python-friendly ISP page
by Skip Montanaro May 29, 2002

May 29, 2002

I've added a rudimentary Python-friendly ISP page to the python.org website: http://www.python.org/hosting/ There are very few providers listed so far, and for those that are listed, the information is pretty minimal, mostly taken from postings to c.l.py. Send feedback to webmaster(a)python.org. Virtually any web hosting service offers some level of Python support these days, even if it's nothing more than /usr/local/bin/python or the ability for shell customers to install their own copy of the interpreter. I am especially interested in knowing what sort of support beyond the bare minimum is provided. Many ISPs don't do a very good job publicizing such features (Zope availability, PIL or mxTools installation, etc), so it's helpful if the Python community can supplement the ISP's information.

PEP 272 marked final
by Andrew Kuchling May 29, 2002

May 29, 2002

I've marked PEP 272: "API for Block Encryption Algorithms v1.0" as final, adding the 1.0 version designation just in case there's a 1.1 or 2.0 some day. The HTML version is at http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0272.html The only changes from the previous version posted on April 17th are minor and purely editorial, so the full text won't be included in this posting. --amk (www.amk.ca) I'm afraid we have no time for codes and manners. -- The Doctor, in "The Edge of Destruction"

New York City Python User Group
by Xavier Monsegur May 22, 2002

May 22, 2002

Greetings everyone, My name is Xavier, and I am in a state of ecstacy right now (quite literally, too). Because, I am proud to announce that the official NYCPUG website is online, and nere its final layout state. I am calling out to all the New York City Python hackers out there to come, integrate their knowledge into one big mass of hairy information. Thus far, since the idea is very young (so is the site), there is only one official member (me being). At NYCPUG, it'll be all about us, our knowledge, our ideas, just 'us' having a fun time and enjoying what we have and can do. The website is located at: http://www.nycpug.org. You can also go to http://www.python.org/UserGroups.html to find the URL if anything. The base mailing-list for NYCPUG is not up yet; however, if you have any ideas, suggestions, inqueries, or want to join up and find out more information about NYCPUG -- then, e-mail me at: xavier(a)nycpug.org. Thanks, and take care. Xavier M. (xavier(a)nycpug.org) NYCPUG, Founder. http://www.nycpug.org -- _______________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup
