PYTHON TOPIC GUIDES!!  
    This webpage of specialty resources should be on everyone's bookmark.
	http://www.python.org/topics/

    Zope's relationship to Bobo.  (Modules for web site designers).

    "pydoc" is a simple script that prints an object's docstring.  Useful
    for looking up module documentation from the command line.

    Deep understanding of the Python virtual machine.
	http://www.dejanews.com/thread/430300582

    The Distutils-SIG is trying to develop a standard suite of Module
    Distribution Utilities for Python.  Also, thread "autoconf and python
    applications" in comp.lang.python discusses (but does not resolve) which
    directory(ies) to install third-party packages into by default.

    Thread "Minimal CGI-publisher..." discusses helper functions for
    CGI-script designers, a la the Dylan language's function-publishing
    feature.  (Like Zope's ZPublisher but smaller/simpler.)

    callername() returns the name of the function that called your code,
    useful for error messages.  [Mimics part of what Perl's 
    carp/cluck/croak/confess routines print.  -Ed.]
	http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=430320357

    Example of catching HTTP errors in a CGI script.
	http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=430394650

    Handling Windows' case-insensitive and case-changing file names.
    (humorous) 
	http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=430121050

    IDLE 0.2 (Integrated Development Environment) (requires Python
    1.5.2 beta) The newsgroup thread also has maintenance patches.
