From 518e55c7f22e43d5f9c242edf5173155baf03f4f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fred Drake Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2000 20:55:12 +0000 Subject: Rip out the information about the PSA, since the fate of that is not certain. Update the information about the mailing list, using the python.org address instead of cwi.nl, and point to the pipermail archives. Also update the daily average message count (at the risk of scaring people off), using the mail archive at http://www.egroups.com/group/python-list for the first half of 2000 for statistical information. --- Doc/tut/tut.tex | 22 +++++++++------------- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) diff --git a/Doc/tut/tut.tex b/Doc/tut/tut.tex index fd09c07..b53d6ea 100644 --- a/Doc/tut/tut.tex +++ b/Doc/tut/tut.tex @@ -3867,7 +3867,7 @@ numbers, parse command-line options, write CGI programs, compress data, and a lot more; skimming through the Library Reference will give you an idea of what's available. -The major Python Web site is \url{http://www.python.org}; it contains +The major Python Web site is \url{http://www.python.org/}; it contains code, documentation, and pointers to Python-related pages around the Web.
