I think this is an excellent idea. I think it would be cool if Jack or
someone could give a Mac-specific 'State of the Python Union' talk. I think
people would be quite impressed at seeing PyObjC, the ability to build
application bundles, the ability to script Mac applications via Python, run
Applescripts via Python, etc. Santa Clara is close enough that with any luck
I'd be able to attend, and would really be interested in seeing this!
