I began learning python at 1.5 and was really excited by 1.6 then 2. now 2.1. Without taking away any admiration for all the rapid work that is being done on the language do you personally target a number of revisions in a year?
Could Python ever move to an even and odd revision structure like Linux? Odd revisions for developers and even for businesses???
My experience is that human nature has problems with encryption unless it is so totally automatic as to be available to the person who steals your laptop:)
The _only_ security you can have is to arrange the CIO's activities such that he has a secure channel log in to a server where the data resides.
For windows I would suggest something like Citrix win client. Its slick, it works and as a bonus your execs can log in from all over the world and use the data. True you have questions of password protection and line snooping. Passwords changes can be inforced at a regular interval and line taps would only get relative instructions to the desktop (ie.. move mouse 3 inches etc..).
The beauty of the system is that all your important hardware can be locked down and watched with security cameras if need be.
Removing the data means you dont have to defend it from decryption.

Thank you very much for Python.
