*What's New in Python?* Stuck using a rusty ol' snake? All Pythonistas within striking distance of Maryland are invited to the *BACON-PIG* meeting on January 19th to learn about all the new features in Python since 2.4, with an emphasis on Python 2.6 and 3.0. Barry Warsaw, Release Manager for Python 2.6/3.0, will present the latest stuff, along with some insights on porting existing code. We have a full 2 hours reserved for the meeting, so there will be lots of time for questions and discussion, after which we'll adjourn for the customary post-meeting sushi outing and pythonistic schmoozing! Here are the meeting coordinates: Space: NASA/Goddard Visitor Center <http://www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/visitor/home/index.html> Time: January 19, 2009, 5:30 - 7:30 PM BACON-PIG resources: site: <http://pangalactic.us/bacon-pig/> list: <https://pangalactic.us/mailman/listinfo/bacon-pig> Cheers, Steve Waterbury -- "I put a dollar in one of those change machines.
