Summaries of Conference action are available ... well, they aren't
available.  Just come to the Conference; that's the only solution.

    Principia is free!  Bobo's big brother aims for world
    domination

    Python wins a supercomputer competition.  Sure, David Beazley
    et al. had to fluff it up with actual physics, visualization
    code, and other cosmetics, and the official judges made the
    mistake of placing it second, but it's still an impressive
    trick for a small language of humble origins.  As this is a
    supercomputer prize, it might be a couple more months before
    the results make it to the Web.  In the meantime, see the
    Avalon home page

    John van der Koijk gives an example of a working DDE client

    When Hisao Suzuki misses closures, he binds Python methods

    Michael T. Richter and others explain COM, ActiveX, ...
	http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=411478020
    In particular, Andrew Robinson shows not only how to get
    Delphi and Python to work together, but why this is
    desirable

    WebKit uses gadfly to manage simple aspects of Web sites
	http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=404738547

    Ouch!  Do you know the limits of print's thread-safety?
    Student of unnatural operations Tim Peters does
	http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=411981039
    In much the same spirit, he concludes an odyssey through
    exceptional ideas with the perfectly simple notion that
    to "bitch early and often" is eminently practical
	http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=411033172

    Thomas Bellman and others solve (modulo NFS) arcane
    security holes in temp file manipulation
	http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=404610024

    Zane Lewkowicz argues that covariance is the principal
    theoretical challenge of object orientation
    and summarizes his opponent's arguments
