That is pretty steep. I would be interested to know if, in your opinion, there enough difference in appearance to justify paying the cost, even if your employer is picking up the tab. Also, have you noticed any performance difference between the toolkits?

From Python.org: Python 3.0 We are pleased to announce the release of Python 3.0 (final), a new production-ready release, on December 3rd, 2008. Python 3.0 (aka "Python 3000" or "Py3k") is a new version of the language that is incompatible with the 2.x line of releases. The language is mostly the sa...

Foley was never charged with a crime. Immoral, yes, but so is adultery. So, then, why discrepancy is coverage? Wow. The fact that Foley skated away without being charged does not make pedophilia any less a crime. Again, your equation of Foley and Mahoney is breathtakingly immoral. I only hope for y...

The Mark Foley story deserved the amount of coverage it got. While Mahoney is guilty of infidelity, it was with consenting adult women. Foley was buttsurfing underage boys who were working in the US Capital, while serving as Chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children. While he wa...

For those of you looking to get started with Python, here are my impressions of a good recent release: Python Power: The Comprehensive Guide(2007) by Matt Tellus Thomson Course Technology 528 pages www.courseptr.com This book was a pleasant surprise.

Right now 71% of Americans get their health insurance through their employer, and the amount paid by the employer is not taxed as income. McCain's health plan would eliminate this exemption. In return, individuals would get a $2500 tax credit and families would get a $5000 credit. According to the M...

From a new Stanford University poll about racial attitudes in the election: "Deep-seated racial misgivings could cost Barack Obama the White House if the election is close..." "the percentage of voters who may turn away from Obama because of his race could easily be larger than the final difference ...

According to Jack Cafferty: http://caffertyfile.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/16/obama-race-a-factor/#comments I all I can say is what horse shit. I'm not voting for Obama because he's very liberal and I don't agree with his policies. I would of voted for Colin Powell in a heartbeat. So, race baiting is o....

Be aware that most of the Python videos on this site are not free. You need to pay for an account if you want to view the more advanced topics. Youtube has a lot of genuinely free stuff; just don't search for "Python" or you will get a gazillion Monty Python hits. Search "programming python" instead...

O'Reilly has just released Python for Unix and Linux System Administration by Jeremy Jones and Noah Gift, an event I have been waiting a long time for. This book could go a long way towards driving a stake through Perl's heart and help establish Python as the scripting language of choice on *nix sys...

Right, the media is tougher on Obama, take another hit and pass it along :) Yet another anecdotal argument. The advantage of knee-jerk accusations of bias is that you don't need a factual, data-driven argument, so you can see why it has such appeal to right-wingers. I have yet to see a single subst...

I think it's kewl.

Yeah, so it looks like crap from any angle. Kewl!

Big thumbs down. Everyone I show this to thinks it says "Slackwars". Yuck.

wxPython seems to be the Python widget set of choice lately. You can get your feet wet doing quick and dirty Guis using Python Card; for more serious work, take a flying leap at WxPython in Action (Manning) by Noel Rappin and Robin Dunn. This is a thorough book which shows you how to create GUIs usi...
