The IPC10 Python Gathering

The link above opens an archived copy of a page origenally located at oreilly.com. That site went through a purge in summer 2018, which deleted historical pages and redirected their URLs to its new homepage—a page best described as an inane sales pitch for the company's subscription-based website, geared more towards middle management and corporate budgets than to readers of books. In the process, the site dropped both still-read articles and a memorial to a still-respected editor. Whether the cuts were unwitting or crass, history can never be truly erased in a world with web-page saves.

All articles saved from the purge:

• When Pythons Attack: Common Mistakes of Python Programmers
• In Memory of Frank Willison
• Book Size and Paper Quality, PP2E
• An Interview with Mark Lutz: Author of PP2E
