The next meeting of BayPIGgies will be Thurs September 9 at 7:30pm. It
will feature a presentation about pyscheme by Danny Yoo. Haven't had
time to update the web site, so here's Danny's summary:

    http://hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/~dyoo/python/pyscheme/

    o A quick introduction to Scheme, and how it's similar to Python.

    o A sketch of how pyscheme works.

    o Demo of the program itself.

    o Discussion on a core problem when implementing Scheme in Python:
       Recursion!

        - Python's recursion limit.
        - How to deal with it: bouncing functions on trampolines.

    o Maybe even continuations, if I haven't lost the audience by then.

BayPIGgies meetings are in Stanford, California. For more information
and directions, see http://www.baypiggies.net/

Before the meeting, some people will meet at 6pm for dinner in downtown
Palo Alto. Ducky Sherwood is handling that; please send RSVPs
to ducky@osafoundation.org by 4pm Thurs.
Discussion of dinner plans is handled on the BayPIGgies mailing list.
