The Python Marketing list is a flurry over what a new tag-line and logo should be.

I skipped a good chunk of posts, but what I gather...

  • Graphic Arts is a precision sport
  • Snakes tend to conjur cultic to childish images (scary combo, eh?)
  • Comedy Troops, altough linguistically agile and global, carry a few too many other association and mind-share gaps. ("A few too many?!" An undefinable assortment.)
  • Avoid infinity, spiral and snake-eats-tail symbols soley on redundancy..otherwise you'll get into odd association discussions.
  • Expect brutal honesty when it comes to anything aesthetic.  This brings me back the first item.

I sure hope the logo entries are collected and archived somewhere, as a snake peering from beneath a brain representing a tree, and this city-scape made me want a collage of them for wallpaper.  I'd add in Twisted's layered logo.

The first round of these kinds of discussions, regarding a Python.org redesign, was quickly scuttled off into it's specific mailing list.

Linux Journal has a new HOW-TO article "Host Hopping Scripts in Python".

Covers PyExpect.  Ever notice that when people explain "Why Python", they usually end up on something frankly personal, like Mark Nielson's "I love Python."
