I tried to reply to this before using Deja.com, but somehow
Deja.com was unable to locate this posting... Let me try again.

Well, I guess the question can be answered like this: the SIG
died as you correctly noticed, the reasons being a lack of
contributions as well as an ill-defined (or at least vague)
purpose of the SIG itself.

Occasionally, there are pattern-related postings to c.l.p.
but it's rather hard to locate them later, especially if
the authors mis-spell crucial words inside... ;-)

Cheers,

Dinu

Aaarggh.

Given that Python is Object Orientated, and that
Patterns help design better object orientated
software, it seemmms to be to be natural that
there would be more than a few random things on
Patterns In Python.

<< For various reasons, I suspect that teaching Patterns
in Python to people as they learn Python would be a very
good thing. >>
