This is my last word on this subject until after Christmas. It's also about as close as I'll ever get to spamming -- apologies to those of you who receive multiple copies of this mail. Please send it on to any individual or list with an interest in Python and related topics. For PyCon DC 2003 to be a success it needs people to get involved. Then Python will finally have low-cost conferences. So take a look at the following link, then don't mail me -- visit the Python Wiki PyCon page and express your support (or not, as the case may be): http://pydish.holdenweb.com/pycon/threat.html Happy holidays ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Holden http://www.holdenweb.com/ Python Web Programming http://pydish.holdenweb.com/pwp/ Bring your musical instrument to PyCon! http://www.python.org/pycon/ -----------------------------------------------------------------------
