Python related blogs

Python owns us lists some Python related web logs, kindly including my own modest effort.

His list includes links to Babu, Andrew Todd, Kevin Altis and Patrick O'Brien, all of which will be regular reading for me in future.

Hmmm. Link oriented, eh? Fair enough, but that wasn't the plan...

Python - it is rocket science...

Microsoft bids to control your PC and the Internet

Palladium is Microsoft's attempt to gain full control for once and for all.

Amongst other things "Palladium won't run unauthorized programs". And Microsoft get to decide which programs are authorized. Yeah, right.

Still, they aren't getting it all their own way - further coverage of Peru's OSS laws, which I've mentioned before.
