On the Ruby site "Try Ruby online" is a prominent link but not actually 
itself on the front page (or even on the ruby-lang.org site itself).

Well, I really like it. :-)

Personally I doubt the news items are important to *new* visitors of the 
Python.org site - who are the most important visitors. I would have no 
objection to pushing the news items down in favour of a prominent code 
example like that.

I have a *strong* preference for the code example being text (styled 
with CSS) rather than image though.

All the best,

Michael
