In Friday's occasional newsletter to registerees, SourceForge
announced that it has deployed SpamAssassin (written in Python) and
ClamAV to have curb the inundation.  It also announced Boa Constructor
as the SF.NET Project of the Month.  The citation:

Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming
language. Python is arguably the most exciting and innovative
programming language available for use today. Serious programmers,
using
any language, need powerful tools designed to support development in
order to be successful. Boa Constructor, SF.net's August 2003 project
of
the month, is Python's serious tool. Boa Constructor is an Integrated
Development Environment (IDE) that makes writing extensive Python code
a
snap.  It provides an interactive debugger, text editor with
highlighting, object inspector, integrated help and the ability to
graphically view classes. Boa Constructor is written in Python and
currently supports Linux and Windows. The project was founded on
SF.NET
in January 2001 and currently enjoys the top 10% activity ranking on
the site.
