Python Links of the Week: 07/15/2011

I've been kind of lazy about putting these out lately, but I have decided to try to do this more regularly. This week covers a lot of different topics including a controversial article from Steve Holden! You can also learn about an exotic location for a Python Conference, Sage and Meta-programming. If you're new to Python, then you will be amazed at the diversity of the topics. These don't even begin to scratch the surface of what is going on in the Python world, but they may whet your appetite. Enjoy!
