Yesterday we served our 207,987th tutorial video and at least half of these have been Python tutorials. This is a great milestone to pass, Kyran and I are very pleased with the site’s growth (to all our visitors and commenters - thank you!).
Next milestone - 500k tutorials - how soon can we get there? PyCon - can you and the Python community help?

“PyCon-Tech is an initiative started by A. M. Kuchling to create an integrated set of tools for running the PyCon conference. In this introduction we give an overview of the PyCon web site public interfaces (wiki, talk archive, schedule) and the technologies used to implement them (pmwiki, zope, django). The technologies are fully integrated into a (mostly) seamless site.” - 1 video, 13 minutes, Doug Napoleone
This is our first Windows Vista screencast, we’re hoping that this is the first in a series of tutorial ‘casts from David Kirk over at the excellent tech-recipes.com tutorial site.
“In Vista you can no longer move your quick launch toolbar to the side of the screen. For users who have been running XP for a long time, this can be quite painful. Here are the instructions. The original author of these instructions over at tech-recipes is hack_vista.” - 1 video, 3 minutes, David Kirk
