Python Day At Sun

Apparently it's an unofficial Python day at Sun as Ted Leung and Frank Wierzbicki are joining us. Tim is leading the charge and is encouraging us to all blog about Python. So here's my contribution.

It's nice to see that the OpenSolaris packaging folks are using Python for pkg, but let's not forget that Orca was one of the first official Python projects at Sun, and was started almost four years ago.

In fact, we had to put through a case with PSARC to get the official version of Python in Solaris bumped from 2.3 to 2.4 just so that we could integrate into Solaris ourselves.

Python has fast become my favorite program language. I encourage others who haven't used it, to give it a try. Here's a link to the Essential Python Reading List to get you started.
