Of Python and Road Maps (or the lack thereof)

Thanks for this; I've often looked around for resources like this that articulate the core Python team's thoughts and near-term goals. This is the best synopsis I've seen.

Unrelatedly, whatever "mobile" Blogger theme that gets served to iPhones on this site makes it really hard to use -- while scrolling down, it's very easy to have a slightly off-center scroll misinterpreted as a left/right swipe gesture (which sends me to the next or previous article and loses my place).

This is why I like Python over Ruby. The approach to me seems very methodical and the community overall is okay with waiting as long as when the future does come it is tested and stable.
