I found new friends through EuroPython this summer. Currently, my main gig is for KMM (Knowledge Management in Museums), a Nordic/European cultural heritage project. Lots of interesting infrastructure work and almost all Python: Django, xmpppy… and I have just added rdflib to the mix. Haven’t had this much fun for a long time. Last week was hectic though, as we prepared the public sites for a re-launch. I will write more soon!

Some of the others are going to Amsterdam to meet the European Digital Library people. But me, I’m going to Chicago. I’ll bring my Mac and see what happens – see you there!

These days, it’s hotter than ever: Python 2.5 is out, Microsoft released IronPython 1.0 for DotNet and the wild visions of PyPy are starting to look real.

Right now I’m trying to translate PyPy from sources on Windows. In other words, I’m just fooling around. Python 2.4 or 2.5? Can I get by with Visual Studio 2005 or do I really have to reinstall some old VS 2003 compiler? Maybe MinGW again? We’ll see…

PyPy versions

Python developers are fascinating. I’ve been lurking around some of these mailing lists and weblogs for years, but there is always more to learn.
