Cool, thanks for the heads up. I wish bundling Python was easier. I read this morning in the Kivy docs that you can't even bundle python 3 at all yet. Many years ago a friend of mine wrote a Pyth…

You know, any user can probably use those tools in adsense (or is it adwords) to monitor how popular search terms are and make similar predictions. If searches for X brand is way up one month then you…
