The new book has more material, too (new chapters, among other things), so I guess the new layout also has an effect. -- Magnus Lie HetlandPreparing to stand by. http://hetland.org-- Microsoft Windows -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: ANN: Beginning Python (Practical Python 2.0)
Also, if any of you guys aren't listening to Ron's Python411 podcast, you're missing out on a quality podcast about Python. While not necessarily `hardcore python' material, Ron does touch on various things happening in the community along with discussion about nifty python packages / modules that you may have missed. Its one of my favorite podcasts. Great job Ron! jw On 20 Oct 2005 15:15:26 -0700, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I found this book at my local Border's this week.
