Guido van Rossum has posted the sad news that longtime Python
contributor Fredrik Lundh has died.

Fredrik was an early Python contributor (e.g. Elementtree and the
‘re’ module) and his enthusiasm for the language and community were
inspiring for all who encountered him or his work. He spent
countless hours on comp.lang.python answering questions from
newbies and advanced users alike.

He also co-founded an early Python startup, Secret Labs AB, which
among other software released an IDE named PythonWorks. Fredrik
also created the Python Imaging Library (PIL) which is still THE
way to interact with images in Python, now most often through its
Pillow fork. His effbot.org site was a valuable resource for
generations of Python users, especially its Tkinter documentation.
