Noteworthy items this week from Pythondom:
Michael Stroeder announces pyCA-0.6.2 - a set of
scripts and CGI-BIN programs written in Python for
setting up and running a certificate authority using
OpenSSL.
http://www.deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=553266414
Sean Reifschneider announces sockserv, a SMTP/NNTP/POP-
like server module that makes it easy to create command /
response type servers.
http://www.deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=553266413
Tony Ibbs announces v0.3 for his metalanguage for
mxTextTools
http://www.deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=553266415
[Note: mxTextTools features an unusual and extremely
fast parsing engine with an incomprehensible API; Tony
has been slowly chipping away at making the interface
non-hostile for a year or so.]
Mike Fletcher posts mandelbrot.py
http://www.deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=554408930
which shows off both wxPython and the Numeric extensions.
The subject of automatic garbage collection returns, this
time with a practical cast: Fredrik Lundh on how it would
be helpful:

James Logajan on why he prefers the current approach:
http://www.deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=553396826
And finally, Bijan Parsia gives pointers to some modern
GC implementations that should ease James' concerns.

Tim Peters exposes his impractical bent, and shows that an
apparently simple "lottery" game isn't so simple:

and
