Subject: Dr. Dobb's Python-URL! - weekly Python news and links (Nov 17)
From: "Gordon McMillan" <gmcm@hypernet.com>

Python-URL! - the (approximately) weekly digest of news and snippets
from the Python community.

    For the CORBA-inclined, there was great news out of AT&T
    Labs, Cambridge.  In
        http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=546873219
    Duncan Grisby announced omniORB, a free C++ ORB
    conforming to the OMG's (draft) Python mappings.
        http://www.uk.research.att.com/omniORB/omniORBpy/

    Robin Dunn announces release 2.1.11 of wxPython, a
    wrapper for the full-featured and snappy cross-platform
    GUI wxWindows.

        http://alldunn.com/wxPython/ 

    In a series of mysterious and understated messages,
    including
        http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=548355817),
    an awesome new compendium of Python resource links is
    divulged:
        http://www.vex.net/~x/parnassus.
    The highly dynamic author and maintainer can be referred
    to as "Tim Middleton", for those who are old-fashioned
    about that sort of thing.

    Jeffrey Kunce shares his configuration for doing a
    shared NT network installation of python:

        http://starship.python.net/crew/jjkunce/ 

    There were a couple messages on Python in the big time:
    Paul Everitt in  
        http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=546857881
    points us to an article about the merger of eGroups and  
    Onelist: 
        http://www.thestandard.com/articles/display/0,1449,7543,00.html
    While Fredrik in
         http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=546861601 
     points to an article on Searchbutton.com
         http://cnbc.com/commentary/commentary_full_story_stocks.asp?
	 StoryID=6926

    Speaking of big-time, Skip Montanaro talks about the 
    configuration of one high volume Python-powered website:
    his own Musi-Cal site:
        http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=546536571

    Finally, from the "what-the?" dept., the eff-bot comments on 
    Latin-1 and other strange characters in Python:
