I already see the headline: PEEP is the answer - PSF votes for software patents. All ideas are written down by volunteers in great detail they just have to be coded. Due to intellectual property rights PSF becomes one of the richest organizations in the world. Guido van Rossum, chairman of PSF and mighty governor of California recommends an invasion into Iran: "we cannot accept that they didn't payed us for a PEEP describing a steering mechism for a nuclear power station to be written in Python. They are dangerous. They didn't have our commitment." Mr. van Rossum also commented the unfriendly takeover of the former software giant Microsoft that was immediately renamed into "Snakeoil Corp." succinctly: "They had a platform we were interested in". Yes, the Python experiment was (not just) successfull. Kay -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
