From: "Andrew M. Kuchling" <akuchlin@mems-exchange.org>

    Mark Hammond reveals a fourth (nth?) Python implementation
    on the horizon:  "It has a compiler that generates native
    Windows .DLL/.EXE files.  It uses a runtime that consists
    of a few thousand lines of C# (C-Sharp) code.  ...  Python
    can subclass VB or C# classes, and vice-versa."

    The Python community has always had fun suggesting
    enhancements to the language, but unless you follow threads
    carefully, it can be hard to figure out the state of a
    proposal.  Barry Warsaw will be making the process more
    formal and IETF-like, as described here:

    Huaiyu Zhu provides class calculus to help homesick Javans
    and others involved in a particular kind of type correctness

    Edward K. Ream and Gordon McMillan show how to think about
    generation of executables which embed Python, even in the
    face of Win* peculiarities, Borland-Microsoft miscegenation,
    backlinking, extensions, and related abstrusities

    Intellisens-ability:  PythonWin capacity to use a key other
    than TAB in AutoComplete traversal

    TheKompany.com releases the third distinct product called
    "Visual Python".  This one "is aimed at KDE and GNOME appli-
    cation developers and allows you to easily embed Python as a
    GUI enabled scripting language in your application"
