Linux Journal is preparing a special issue devoted to Python (actually more like a pullout section or whatever I think). They are looking for writers, e.g. to write a piece about Python's history and/or an introduction. And probably anything else Python related. If you're interested, please write to Marjorie Richardson <mlr@ssc.com>, who is coordinating. Also direct any questions to her. This is for the June issue which will be on newsstands mid-May and mailed to subscribers even earlier, I believe. The deadline is February 1st (magazine production takes forever!). --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
