It's still not clear to me what the distinction between this and the
ASPN Python Cookbook would be.  What snippet would go into a "pattern
repository" that would be inappropriate for the online Cookbook, and/or
vice versa?

>From "pattern" I would have guessed that people were referring to
high-level design patterns a la _Design Patterns_ (Gamma et al), but
it's sounding more and more like people are just thinking about a
collection of snippets for handling certain tasks, which is exactly what
the Cookbook is already for.
