[Python-talk] [Fwd: MerriLUG Nashua, Thur 17 Jan, Python? Why should I care?]

[Shawn O'Shea]

Kent,

Looks good! :)

The only other thing I can think of is like a references section where
people can go for more. Probably list things like the O'Reilly Python book,
Dive Into Python book/website, official python docs pages, Python Papers
site, Python-tutor mailing list info, and comp.lang.python on Usenet (maybe
a google groups link). Oh yeah, and GNHLUG's PySIG meetings and mailing list
(ok, and the meetup.com link for Boston PIG as well) ;)
