This is the third time i write a reply for this post. I think now i do have a better idea of what to say. There are lots of activities to be done in marketing, but we dont have to choose now.

If the time for marketing python has come, the first step is to name a marketing director. Someone who can assign funds, who can talk with the guys upstairs, who will do what needs to be done to market python.

Does this guy exist? Is he a programmer? Maybe we can get a marketing professional like Michael suggested. Maybe some guy who works for a marketing agency building web sites and has already bet on python?

Who?
