ActiveState announces four new Python-related projects (PythonDirect, Komodo, Visual Python, ActivePython). PythonLabs announces four planet-sized-brains are going to be working on the Python implementation full time. PythonWare announces PythonWorks. Is that the sound of pieces falling into place or of a rumbling avalanche "warming up" before obliterating everything in its path? -- Paul Prescod - ISOGEN Consulting Engineer speaking for himself "I want to give beauty pageants the respectability they deserve." - Brooke Ross, Miss Canada International

Five.

PythonWare announces PythonWorks.

Full-on, robot chubby earthquake. :-) I agree with the basic premise: Python *is* going to get a lot more visibility than it has enjoyed in the past. You might even add that the latest GNOME release (1.2) has excellent Python support. Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/

No, he said "planet-sized-brains", not "planet-sized-egos". Just notice how long it takes Barry to figure out who I meant.... - Gordon

I /do/ have a very large brain. I keep it in a jar on the headboard of my bed, surrounded by a candlelit homage to Geddy Lee. How else do you think I got so studly playing bass?

Ah, yes. We take you back now to that splendid year of 1978. Cue a certain high-voiced Canadian singing The trouble with the Perl guys is they're quite convinced they're right...

Look closer, big-egoed-four-stringed-guitar-playing-one. It could just as easily be a J.
