I've put up the crude first draft of a "What's New in Python 1.6" article, co-written with Moshe Zadka. Please offer comments (or even patches to the LaTeX!). http://www.python.net/crew/amk/python/writing/new-python/ PDF, DVI, ASCII, and the LaTeX source are in: ftp://www.python.net/pub/crew/amk/new/ Various people are mentioned by name in the document ("effbot did this; MAL did that; Christian did that other thing...") because I want to emphasize the number of contributors to this release; does everyone think this is a good idea? If I've missed your name, or credited you wrongly, please let me know. --amk
