Volume 1, Edition 1 makes history
The launch of 'The Python Papers'. The Python Papers
Welcome to The Python Papers. This journal, small though it is, represents the careful efforts of a small group of Python enthusiasts who are keen to form a better community in which developers may work.
As Editor-In-Chief, my role is manifold, but my goals are to improve the level of connectedness of Python developers, and in so doing improve my own developer experience.
The entire editorial board has put time into making this publication something which will hopefully lead to a buildup of momentum, fuelled by the enthusiastic involvement of others who find Python as exciting as we do.
The current issue contains one academic, peer-reviewed article, one industry article, and a list of events coming up in Melbourne, Australia. We would like to expand this list significantly. We offer our services in organising, collating and reviewing submitted content such that Python developers around the world may participate in the creation of something bigger than all of us, for the benefit of all of us. It may be a small journal, a little thing really, but all are welcome, and we look forward to getting to know our readers through the written word.
Please download the first edition, and consider both what it is and what it might be.
For those of you looking to publish an academic paper as a part of coursework or for interest's sake alone, we can offer a formal review process which will meet those guidelines while preserving the goals of freedom of information and community spirit.
Those who are using Python in their work may like to consider using the journal as a means of expressing successes or frustrations with either the language itself or specific applications. We may be able to offer code reviews and style guides, and would be happy to hear about and help propagate news of what is happening so that everyone can take an interest.
For those who would like a reliable source of information, The Python Papers presents a unique and current view into the state of Python at large.
To all of you, welcome!
Cheers,
-Tennessee (Editor-In-Chief)

I was intrigued to read you post on "moral relativism", and I looked forward to the rest of your blog.
It seems that Python has totally monopolized your attention.
And so it goes ...
Thanks for your various comments, Ben.
Yes, Python has, along with a number of other life committments at the moment.
I would like to say, however, this is not a philosophical rejection of the value of philosophy. Rather, it is a philosophical recognition that philosophy alone does not bring happiness.
Activities other than philosophy are rewarding, such as creation. (Not mutually exclusive of course). Much happiness is given to you by others. Another dimension is the happiness of sufficient wealth.
My attention may be elsewhere, but my convictions are not. I regret that I can't at this time continue to engage with readers, however I do stand by what I have written, and thus leave it public.
nice blog. :) i read your posts every now and then, why arent u updating it anymore? :)
Thanks for the nice sentiments Jhia... I find that I no longer have the time to consider philosophy so carefully. It's unfortunate, but I honestly just don't feel like I can involve myself in it like I used to.
At the moment, really, I'm seeing things from a new perspective. My circumstances changed recently (for the better and different) and I've just been getting to grips with what that means. I am sure that in the years to come I'll return to philosophy, but in the meantime I'm just trying not to fall flat on my face!
All the best,
-MP
