Subject: README: Python-URL! - the weekly guide to Python resources (Sep 20)
Date: 20 Sep 1999 04:54:22 -0500

Almost lost in a sea of messages about programming in the dark ages,
we find some gems in this week's Python universe:

    g.j. andruk (a.k.a. Meow) releases a module to speed up reading
    from files, using some of Rich $alz's INN code.  Expect 2x-5x
    speedup on standard line-at-a-time usage.

    An interesting discussion on the topic of making translatable
    strings emerges.  Thread starts at:

    Christian Tismer makes a binary installer of the XML-SIG package
    for Windows users:

    BioPython.org is announced: an effort devoted to facilitating and
    promoting the use of Python in bioinformatics

    Damien Norton provides generic code to deal with the pesky problem
    of timeouts on sockets without using select():

    Paul Dubois announces version 2 of PyFort, a tool to interface
    Python and Fortran.

    Reminder: The Python Conference is accepting paper submissions
    until the end of the month (with special interest in Zope and
    finance expressed from various quarters):
