The hosting is up for renewal in April this year.  Unless a miracle happens (or
lots of donations) then the site will close soon after that.

It's a shame really. The site gets plenty of hits and loads of positive
comments in the guest book.  I have a huge number of other places linking to
the site - including the BBC - and appear in the top 10 in most major search
engines for the majority of Python related searches, but no one seems willing
to help me pay for it all.  In the years from 2000 to 2006 I've had just two
small donations.  So the reality now is that I can't justify funding it any
more.

I shall also have to sell my Python books, videos, mugs, CDs, etc etc etc.  I'm
not sure yet, but I may put up a page on the site or sell them via eBay.  I'd
be much happier to sell them in bulk to a real Python fan, though it would need
to be someone in the UK or postage would be prohibitive.
