I try to at least skim the list every day, although I probably miss
quite a bit!

PySide is not yet Python 3 compatible---however PySide's API is like
PyQt's Python 3 API, so PySide code should be a lot easier to port from
Python 2 to 3 than PyQt...

Go is a new open source programming language being developed by Google
programmers:
http://golang.org/
It has some high level features (UTF-8 strings, maps which are like
Python dicts and slices which are like Python lists), and a very nice
approach to concurrency based on communication rather than shared
memory. But it is also quite a low level C-ish language with pointers.
Anyway, I think it is v. interesting and fun to use.
