[Python-Dev] 2 very interesting projects - Python / Finance

[Steve Holden]

David:

Perhaps you'd  like to give me your company's internal mailing list
address so I can drop your staff a line when I hear of Python
conferences going on your area. Or maybe that's not what the list is for?

This list, as is clearly stated at

  http://www.python.org/community/lists/

is "for work on developing Python". Hence your posting (and your
protestations of innocence) is unsolicited commercial email, AKA spam.
Python users who are looking for jobs know about the jobs board, where
you have already submitted vacancy notices (now jeopardized by this
anti-social act). Please stop now - if you must reply, feel free to do
so by private email.

regards
 Steve
