Guido van Rossum resigns as Python Leader...

Yup it's true:

[python-committers] Transfer of power

This will put Python development in disarray.
Which reminded me of this thread I posted some time ago:

MadeInGermany's post 3 is probably one of the reasons but not quoted.
Although not in Guido's case necessarily, I guess application fatigue hits us all eventually.

(In my case AudioScope is not evolving much because I can no longer proof build the electronics/hardware the reason being I now have Essential Tremours. Application fatigue and 'feature creep' have also entered my scenario, BUT at least I have no one to argue with about it...)

Bazza.
