Hi, folks. Jon Erickson (Doctor Dobb's Journal), Frank Willison (O'Reilly), and I (professional loose cannon) are doing a workshop at IPC on writing books and magazine articles about Python. It would be great to have a few articles (in various stages of their lives) and/or book proposals from people on this list to use as examples. So, if you think the world oughta know about the things you're doing, and would like to use this to help get yourself motivated to start writing, please drop me a line. I'm particularly interested in: - the real-world issues involved in moving to Unicode - non-trivial XML processing using SAX and DOM (where "non-trivial" means "including namespaces, entity references, error handling, and all that") - the theory and practice of stackless, generators, and continuations - the real-world tradeoffs between the various memory management schemes that are now available for Python - feature comparisons of various Foobars that can be used with Python (where "Foobar" could be "GUI toolkit", "IDE", "web scripting toolkit", or just about anything else) - performance analysis and tuning of Python itself (as an example of how you speed up real applications --- this is something that matters a lot in the real world, but tends to get forgotten in school) - just about anything else that you wish someone had written for you before you started your last big project Thanks, Greg
