There's growing interest among GIS users of Python for a discussion group, so I've started an unofficial Python GIS SIG at: http://groups.google.com/group/python-gis-sig. Please join if you're interested in improving Python's GIS story. At any rate, the group should (hopefully) reduce the number of GIS questions that get mistakenly posted to Web-SIG ("GIS" is commonly known as "SIG" outside the US/UK).
