The State of Python

Eric Idle was recently interviewed in The New Yorker and you can read the interview here if you can get past their paywall, which sometimes you can. If not, this article summarizes and quotes some of what the interview says.

It's about where the various Pythons are now and why some of them don't get along well and/or need money more badly than you'd think they would. Idle has a one-man show touring soon and I sure hope that by the time it gets near me, my leg's healed enough to attend. He's a very funny, clever man — they all are, even the two dead ones. I don't like hearing that they're not all best buddies these days. And I always think that airing these kinds of problems in public makes it a lot less likely they'll be solved.
