Dear Reader,

Welcome to another issue of XML.com.

This week Uche Ogbuji, whose new column, Agile Web, focuses on the
intersection of dynamic languages and Web 2.0, returns with an examination
of several Python modules for accessing Flickr's lightweight HTTP web
service. Python's utility as glue code is on display here as Uche shows us
how to interact with Flickr in the context of developing new
applications.

Scripting Flickr with Python and REST

Next week will see the return of Micah Dubinko's XML Annoyances and Joe
Gregorio's latest Restful Web columns.

As always, thanks for reading.

What Are Syndication Feeds

O'Reilly recently commissioned Shelley Powers, a specialist in technology

publishers, titled "What Are Syndication Feeds." You can download it today
from the O'Reilly shopping cart for $7.95, small change for a priceless doc.
