No blogging for a while; I'm getting stuck in to a whole load of University coursework. In the meantime though here are some Python links I've been hoarding for a few days on my private wiki:
Gems from the archives - a couple of useful Python snippets from the archives of the Python XML SIG mailing list.
What's New in Python 2.3? - extensive article with coverage of list strides (an extension of the list slicing operator), the new logging and date modules and other improvements to the language.
On the Relationship Between Python and Lisp discusses similarities between the two languages and points out that many of Python's lisp-like features (lambdas, filter and map) are being considered for deprecation.
