I think, if Python blog is regularly updated, it will be a great resource
for every one :), Moreover personally I feel, if we have something like
weekly (or b-weekly) interviews from core-python-developers it would be
great for new comers like me,
Also, I would love to share helping hands with you, just guide me where
should I start from :)
