End of summer fruit from comp.lang.python and related trees:
The next International Python Conference is scheduled, and the
program committee eagerly awaits paper submissions:

Andreas Jung self-deprecatingly misses the elegance of a simple
program he wrote to beautify XML:

While we're talking about XML, there are announcements from the
FourThought folks of the backend tools they talked about in
Monterey:

http://www.python.org/pipermail/xml-sig/1999-September/001421.html

Mark Hammond says that "it works fine", whether he's talking about
MTS, the registry, audits, permissions, remote servers, etc.
We're getting jaded!

Mark also announces that his win32 extensions are now under CVS
control:

In the "scary" category, Greg Ewing takes a sneaky way around
an implementation trick and pretends it's the "design pattern"
that Magnus Hetland asked for (and Magnus agrees!):

Tim Peters regales us with more details about strings in Python
than you cared to know about:

Among lots of rambling dispatches on the topic of Turing
completeness and other nonsense, Greg Ewing sets us straight on
the future of Python:

In the field of useless algorithms people like to bicker about,
the ugly truth emerges that version skew exists even for
"authoritative" books:
