This column was originally published by Python Magazine in April of 2008.

need more books

We just had some new book shelves installed in the living room to replace the somewhat aging free-standing units we had before. Now we have empty shelves. I don't expect that situation to last long.

PyWorks conference blog

As I've previously mentioned MTA, publishers of Python Magazine, has announced the PyWorks conference to be held in Atlanta, GA on November 12-14, 2008.

We've started a blog so anyone interested in the conference can keep up with announcements. If you think you might want to attend or present at the conference, check it out!

PyMOTW in Spanish

I am very excited to announce that Ernesto Rico Schmidt has begun a Spanish translation of my Python Module of the Week series. Ernesto is in Bolivia, and is starting this project as a way to contribute to the members of the Bolivian Free Software community who use Python.

So far, he has translated the prose and output messages in the articles covering the warnings and SimpleXMLRPCServer module. He will be translating new articles after they are posted to the main feed, and working through the previously published articles as well.

The full list of articles is available at http://denklab.org/articles/category/pymotw/, and of course there is an RSS feed.

I'm just floored that someone would take the time to do this. Thank you, Ernesto!
