In an odd bit of timing, I had an article in the April issue of DDJ that 
used Python to talk to an embedded XML-RPC server. I thought it was a 
little odd to see another article so similar to mine so soon afterwards, 
but I guess it's one of those things that's 'in the air' right now.

DDJ seems to have articles that use or mention Python about 5-6 times a 
year.
