End of summer fruit from comp.lang.python and related trees
[follow-up transmission; many of you will have seen an earlier
version of this same Python-URL! which garbled several of the
URLs]:

    The next International Python Conference is scheduled, and the
    program committee eagerly awaits paper submissions:

    Andreas Jung self-deprecatingly misses the elegance of a simple
    program he wrote to beautify XML:
      http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=520249301

    While we're talking about XML, there are announcements from the
    FourThought folks of the backend tools they talked about in
    Monterey:
      http://www.python.org/pipermail/xml-sig/1999-September/001420.html
      http://www.python.org/pipermail/xml-sig/1999-September/001421.html
      http://www.python.org/pipermail/xml-sig/1999-September/001422.html

    Mark Hammond says that "it works fine", whether he's talking about
    MTS, the registry, audits, permissions, remote servers, etc.
    We're getting jaded!

    Mark also announces that his win32 extensions are now under CVS
    control:

    In the "scary" category, Greg Ewing takes a sneaky way around
    an implementation trick and pretends it's the "design pattern"
    that Magnus Hetland asked for (and Magnus agrees!):
      http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=517466084
      http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=520858452

    Tim Peters regales us with more details about strings in Python
    than you cared to know about:
      http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=521587749

    Among lots of rambling dispatches on the topic of Turing
    completeness and other nonsense, Greg Ewing sets us straight on
    the future of Python:
      http://www.python.org/pipermail/python-list/1999-September/017036.html

    In the field of useless algorithms people like to bicker about,
    the ugly truth emerges that version skew exists even for
    "authoritative" books:
