Probably Issue 10 as in "issued in October, being the 10th month", so this is more of an id than it is a sequential index number. Just like a social security number of 123-45-6789 does not mean you are the 123,456,789th human born since the beginning of the SS system. But I grant that Issue number does have some connotation of sequence to it, and if the next issue is something like 2 or 8, or really anything other than 11, now THAT would be silly. And I'm sure that in the future, when people are trying to amass the complete set of Python Magazines, they'll wonder why those issues 1-9 of the first volume are so hard to come by. But I suspect that, come January, we will see the release of Vol 2, Issue 1. Just an artifact of having the first issue come out in some month other than January. -- Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
