Wow, I'm blushing;-). I promise and swear I'll do the utmost to
attend Pycon 2007 -- this year, what between work-related issues AND
the 2nd edition of the Nutshell, it was, alas, really unfeasible:-(.
The *ONE* thing I dislike about working in the US is vacations -- I
get about half of what I would expect in Europe, and that's with my
employer being reasonably generous... in practice, given I NEED some
time to go visit family and friends back in Italy, this means I can't
really take vacations to do conferences, but rather I must convince
my boss that conference X is worth my time (basically, this means
that by attending I can hope to help *HIRE* somebody -- otherwise,
I'm fighting uphill!-).

Wow, I'm RARIN' for a go at that -- I did the former more than once,
and 'with' and coroutines sound right up my alley -- if I get any
chance to practice them, I might even be able to present related
*patterns*...;-)

A-yup. Most presentations cover specific project, which is fine, but
there's an unsatisfied demand for talks on how best to use certain
language features, and design patterns around them -- I suspect
that's a big reason why I was singled out by name (that kind of thing
is generally what I address in my talks).
