   Packaging - learn to use Distutils (distribution utilities). Currently
it is separate package, but will be included in python 1.6.

   Announcing - watch the best announcements here. Marc Lemburg's
announcements are probably the best of the best. Search some of them on
Deja.com. They are constracted the following way (and after I saw them few
times I started to mimick my announcements the same way):

1. What is it (short).

2. What's new since last announcement (short).

3. Where to get; copyright; licensing terms.

4. Any longer details you want - long description, long what's new, etc...
