Re: Python mascot proposal

Please note that to make something official, it has to be passed
through the Python Software Foundation, which holds the intellectual
property for Python and is responsible for trademarks associated with
the language.

If you're serious about doing this, you may want to email "psf at
python dot org" to get information from the board of directors (I'm one
of them, BTW, but I can't speak for the whole group).

It would be nice to have a single strongly identifiable visual
trademark for Python.  There are many icons/logos that people have
invented but none that's "official" and having many tends to dilute the
ability to build a strong well-known visual trademark.

giving".

The PSF is the 501(c)3 non-profit organization that holds and 
protects the intellectual property rights behind Python.  We deal 
with the licensing, contribution agreements, and legal 
requirements of copyright and trademark in order to keep Python 
open and free of legal claims.

The PSF also:

* Provides the financial backing that makes PyCon possible:
http://us.pycon.org/

* Funds special projects such as the recent website redesign:
http://python.org/

  and the current Python Advocacy Coordinator experiment:
http://python.org/psf/grants/advocacy/orig-proposal.pdf

* Funds grants:
http://www.python.org/psf/grants/

* Responds to legal queries about the license, trademarks, or 
  US export control registration, owns/renews the key Python 
  domain names, and other such administrative chores.

How to Donate
-

We take credit cards, checks, wire transfers, and PayPal:

Just to clarify:  We never do that.  If you don't hear from us in
response to a
question, something has gone wrong (either we didn't get your email or
ours got filtered).

In this case, there was a typo in the reply-to email message and I
didn't manage
to figure out the correct email address to reply to until now.

We certainly didn't intend to be insulting.  This it the most common
cause of
auto-completion problems but you are right that it's a mis-diagnosis
on our
part if it was just one method.  We respond to sometimes hundreds of
emails
a day ,so we do make mistakes.

It may be solved by using Reanalyze File from the right-click context
menu
on the editor but there's no gaurantee.  This is incredibly complex
code with
many layers of highly optimized tokenizing, analysis, inference,
caching,
and then display in the various tools in Wing so it often takes a bit
more time
to find where the bug is.

By the way, Wing 3.0 beta1 fixes a number of bugs that would lead to
bad analysis, including missing methods as a result of failure to
track edits in a file properly.  It also improves reading completion
info
out of extension modules and properly handles several forms of
import where it fell on its face previously.

Hope that's useful... please let me know if not.
