Hi, my name is Steve Howell, and I started this page in May 2007, and I provided the first 10+ or so examples (which may have changed since then).

All code on this page is open source, of course, with the standard Python license.

Minor cleanups are welcome, but if you want to do major restructuring of this page, please contact me through the Python mailing list, or if you are impatient for a response, please just make your own copy of this page. Thanks, and I hope this code is useful for you!
