While Fredrik has a point (too many Linux advocates, including sometimes
myself, get too heated about it), he has another point in his sarcastic
comment too -- many Python users are old-time UNIXers, who don't know and
don't care about such things as COM, OLE, Win32 API....
Should we consider forking the group, creating
comp.lang.python.windows
comp.lang.python.misc
comp.lang.python.numeric (Now that the Matrix-SIG is more about using
NumPy rather then developing for it)
(And if anyone volunteers,
comp.lang.python.moderated)
I've been thinking about this quite a while, but never got the nerve to
suggest it in public until I saw Fredrik's post.
