That car (a silver Prius) belongs to me & my wife Anna (also my co-author in the 2nd ed of the Python Cookbook, first woman Member of the PSF, etc) -- the driver was no doubt Anna as I hardly ever drive (I walk in the morning from our home in South Palo Alto, to work in Mountain View -- if it's raining Anna usually drives me so she can keep the car for the day). I claim the credit for thinking of using the heart as a colorful Y-substitute back when we decided to get a vanity plate -- it seemed especially appropriate as we did have Tim's "Zen of Python" as one of the readings at our marriage, after all (and claimed it to be "The First Pythonic Marriage" in a lightning talk at the OSCON we immediately flew to from the marriage ceremony). Guido's Prius is red, and his license plate reads PY3K. Good spotting!

It's different than <a>the one he has up on his website</a>, but that was is from Virginia so perhaps he upgraded. Maybe that’s Guido’s new license plate?
