## Misc news
On [our mailing list](https://lists.reproducible-builds.org/pipermail/rb-general/) this month Rebecca N. Palmer started a thread titled [Addresses in (I)Python output](https://lists.reproducible-builds.org/pipermail/rb-general/2019-September/001657.html) which point out and attempts to find a solutio to a problem whereby in in Python, objects that don't have an explicit string representation have a default one that includes their memory address. This causes problems with reproducible builds if/when such output appears in documentation.
