I'm considering proposing to O'Reilly a 2nd edition of "Python in a
Nutshell", that I'd write in 2005, essentially to cover Python 2.3 and
2.4 (the current 1st edition only covers Python up to 2.2).
So, if there's any advice or request about a 2nd edition of the
Nutshell, this is the right time for y'all to let me know. Feedback is
welcome, either privately or right here. Thanks in advance -- _and_
apologies in advance because I know I just won't be able to accomodate
all the requests/advice, given the constraints on book size &c.
* code coverage tools for python code (testing your tests).
* new-style classes forward and old-style shrunk. "best practices"
such as "always super(class, self).__init__(...)" and why even if
why is only a forward reference. Using Left(object), Right(object),
Top(Left, Right) would be good for the example.
** Fix the examples in "Inheritance in new-style object model", the
diagram, and the following example in "cooperative superclass
method calling" to use the same hierarchy. I personally prefer
the A(object), B(A), C(A), D(B,C) hierarchy, but they should
match.
* implementing types/classes in C -- a checklist w/ advice on testing.
