I had a question about the second edition of the Python Cookbook. I own and have thoroughly enjoyed the first edition of the Python Cookbook. How much of the second edition is new? Is this "essential reading" if I already have the first edition? I realize that there are new sections that describe language features through Python 2.4, but is this, say, 10% of the book (in which case I won't buy a new copy) or is it >25% of the book (in which case I will). The Chapter (#3) on Time/Money that's posted on the O'Reilly website is great (and entirely new, if memory serves).
Thanks in advance... Rick -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
