He's been very low-key about it, but did make an informal announcement
on the PSF-Members mailing list.

It's got to be better than getting one patch per year from him, trying
to fix threading on the ever-popular Open Source combination of HP-UX
on an Itanium chip <wink>.

> I'm pretty sure he means "working on Python."

While I'm not a professional Greg-channeller, in this case I can:  he
meant what he said.

> No one hires Guido and expects him not to work *with* Python most of the time.

Ask Guido how fond he is of Java these days ;-)
