Cool!  If you can, it would really help to post an announcement to:

    news:comp.lang.python.announce

The text above would be fine, if augmented by pointers to why Judy is such a
cool thing.  Emphasizing that it can do blazing fast and memory-efficient
ordered mappings and sparse bitsets would attract two specific underserved
audiences.

You can also post to c.l.py.a via a mailing-list gateway:
