 Nice little series by Seth Stevenson for Americans daydreaming about

For a Python newsgroup, I'm surprised no one has mentioned yet that 
Guido van Rossum developed Python at the CWI in Amsterdam (called 
Stichting Mathematisch Centrum at the time). Type 'copyright' at the 
Python prompt some time.

 Hi, I'm trying to write an internationalized app. I'm learning python and 
 read that pygettext would help me, but I found elsewhere it was obsolete (??)
 So, what's the correct and up to date tool to i18n python ?

Short answer: the functionality of pygettext has been incorporated in 
the main gettext tool, so pygettext is obsolete.

Re: Python for a 10-14 years old?

FWIW. Given a reasonable amount of RAM (256MB should suffice), newer 
Mandrakelinux versions (the latest being 10.1 with 10.2 almost out) will 
run nicely on that Pentium Pro. The advantage would be a much more 
modern user interface, security updates (important if it's connected to 
the internet) and of course, a recent Python package out of the box.
