Kuchling" <akuchlin@mems-exchange.org> Digital Creations releases the first public alpha of ZEO, version 0.2. In essence, ZEO and ZODB form a language-specific object database for Python objects http://www.zope.org/Products/ZEO/ Your editor writes a draft of an article about using ZEO and ZODB http://starship.python.net/crew/amk/python/writing/zodb-zeo.html PythonWare releases an implementation of SOAP 1.1. "This version is somewhat experimental, and has a couple of known shortcomings that we plan to fix asap. It has been tested against Userland's SOAP implementation, and it's likely that it will work with IBM's Java library (we'll know more about that later this week)." http://www.pythonware.com/products/soap/ Les Smithson mentioned having some Python code for X10 home automation; contact him if you want to help out. http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=636731298&fmt=text The 1.6 CVS tree has been hopping in preparation for a new release.
