His book is slowly on the way out. #python on freenode and /r/python stopped recommending the book. Other places should follow suit, and actively discourage an outdated (easy_install, distribute, nosetests, python 2) book written by an asshole and a xenophobe. -- Chris Warrick <https://chriswarrick.com/> PGP: 5EAAEA16 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
