It was dormant for some time.
Cameron and his company have done a lot of work (and writing articles) on open source and scripting languages (Python, TCL, and others) and libraries and tools; check them out on the Net by searching for appropriate terms.
The Python-URL can be a useful resource for Python beginners as well as others.
I am pasting below, the contents of the current week's Python-URL email that I got.
There are instructions on how to subscribe and unsubscribe in the email below.

QOTW: "Let us cease to nourish those fabled ones who dwell under bridges." -
Tom Zych
Look for "Python Insider" below. Then read through everything there.
You'll want to know about this one.
Once again, the PSF sponsors GSoC projects (and, as has become
traditional, "Python-URL!" is again a week late in publicizing the
fact):
Projects range from Mailman to Web frameworks to Wikis ... Get
your applications in THIS WEEK.
An important recurring topic (particularly challenging with Win*,
apparently): communication with subprocess-es:
A podcast on the Cython project. Note this is *far* from the first
C-Python alloy:
Another well-packaged non-first: interactive Python interpretation
through the Web:
You'll like PyMOTW below. In the same vein:
Warm-up alphabetic exercises for localization work:

Everything Python-related you want is probably one or two clicks away in
these pages:
Python.org's Python Language Website is the traditional
center of Pythonia
Notice especially the master FAQ
Just beginning with Python? This page is a great place to start:
Planet Python: you want to visit there:
But don't confuse it with Planet SciPy:
And don't confuse *that* with SciPyTip, a high-quality daily (!) tip
for the numerically-inclined:
Python Insider is the official blog of the Python core development
team:
The Python Software Foundation (PSF) has replaced the Python
Consortium as an independent nexus of activity. It has official
responsibility for Python's development and maintenance.
Among the ways you can support PSF is with a donation.
Keep up with the PSF at "Python Software Foundation News":
The Python Papers aims to publish "the efforts of Python enthusiasts":
The Python Magazine is a technical monthly devoted to Python:
Doug Hellman's "Module of the week" is essential reading:
comp.lang.python.announce announces new Python software. Be
sure to scan this newsgroup weekly.
Python411 indexes "podcasts ... to help people learn Python ..."
Updates appear more-than-weekly:
The Python Package Index catalogues packages.
Much of Python's real work takes place on Special-Interest Group
mailing lists
Python Success Stories--from air-traffic control to on-line
match-making--can inspire you or decision-makers to whom you're
subject with a vision of what the language makes practical.
The Summary of Python Tracker Issues is an automatically generated
report summarizing new bugs, closed ones, and patch submissions.
nullege is an interesting search Web application, with the intelligence
to distinguish between Python code and comments. It provides what
appear to be relevant results, and demands neither Java nor CSS be
enabled:
Although unmaintained since 2002, the Cetus collection of Python
hyperlinks retains a few gems.
Python FAQTS
The Cookbook is a collaborative effort to capture useful and
interesting recipes:
Many Python conferences around the world are in preparation.
Watch this space for links to them.
Among several Python-oriented RSS/RDF feeds available, see:
For more, see:
The old Python "To-Do List" now lives principally in a
SourceForge reincarnation.
del.icio.us presents an intriguing approach to reference commentary.
It already aggregates quite a bit of Python intelligence.
At least one of the Python magazines is explicitly multilingual:
Enjoy the *Python Magazine*.
*Py: the Journal of the Python Language*
PythonWare complemented the digest you're reading with the
marvelous daily python url. While it's now ... dormant, it still
has plenty of interesting reading.
Python articles regularly appear at IBM DeveloperWorks:

There is *not* an RSS for "Python-URL!"--at least not yet. Arguments
for and against are occasionally entertained.
Suggestions/corrections for next week's posting are always welcome.
E-mail to <Python-URL@phaseit.net> should get through.
To receive a new issue of this posting in e-mail each Monday morning
(approximately), ask <claird@phaseit.net> to subscribe. Mention
