Excellent, I've got a slot after lunch on Day 1 of Europython: http://www.europython.org/sections/tracks_and_talks/draft-timetable
Still focusing on string.Template, looking to recode my paradigm "math objects" using X3D output (XML flavored -- there's also a more VRML-like format). I've proposed to Joyce (CEO) that I work up a new Saturday Academy class focusing on Python + X3D, perhaps presuming some Python. She seems willing to explore it further. I still have another section of my regular Pythonic math course scheduled for this summer, where we use VPython and POV-Ray: http://www.4dsolutions.net/ocn/pymath.html I found this 2003 article a helpful reintroduction to the subject of these relatively new 3D tools: http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2003/08/06/x3d.html Kirby PS: One of the philosophers mentioned in passing in my Lithuania paper, Richard Rorty, died recently. There's a write up in today's New York Times. He was a good teacher for me back when I was focusing on philo at Princeton (1976-1980). He advised me on my undergrad thesis on Wittgenstein's later writings.
