Python grows up in several ways this week:

    The standard Python documentation is available in book form by
    toExcel.com, and the royalties go to the PSA.  According to Guido
    they're nicely done.

    Barry Warsaw releases JPython 1.1b3, which once again allows
    optional access to non-public Java class members.

    Comp.lang.python.announce is flooded by announcements of new
    software.

    Greg Ewing implements the extended call syntax that Guido had
    agreed to consider for 1.6 (he wins the grammar-hacker award of
    the month!).

    In a thread on Donn Cave, master of fork & friends, points us to
    his tool to invoke shell commands on Unix and get the output.

    The IDLE part of the CVS tree is now mirrored nightly, for those
    who want IDLE but don't care for the rest of the Python CVS tree.
