sunqiang··on Why Python is Important for You
so, it's not as easy as python 2.x to 2.(x+1) and python 3.x to 3.(x+1). will every version update of Ruby will suffer as mush as Ruby 1.8 to 1.9?

and IPython, it's a import part of NumPy/SciPy/MatplotLib family, offers a great many convenience features, such as tab-completion of python functions and a good help system. not to mention the new ZeroMQ messaging design(http://ipython.scipy.org/doc/nightly/html/development/messag...).
sunqiang··on Mincemeat.py: a single-file Python implementation of MapReduce
