Hey Vern, I'm glad someone's doing this! There's been some hope about getting Python into the Head First pipeline. A couple years ago O'Reilly was skeptical there was a big enough market (they track this stuff pretty closely, as we've learned at various OSCONs). So your landing this fish is also indicative of Python's continued expansion. I hope edu-sig proves a relevant source of ideas. Probably you won't be using the __ribs__ idea (snakes have lots of 'em), but if you don't know what I mean, I'll plug my Europython slides again (I'm spreading the __rib__ idea in Vilnius). http://www.4dsolutions.net/presentations/connectingthedots.pdf Wondering if you're playing up the Monty Python angle much either. I think that too is highly reflective of Python's (and Guido's) playful side. > -- > This time for sure! > -Bullwinkle J. Moose So maybe this was your secret (cartoon allusions).
