Re: [Tutor] Totorial announcement
Saves me ordering the book :-) I saw it on bol.com together with another of your books. The book is slightly different and has some extra chapters but it is now quite out of date, I recommend the web version (which also has a lot of material not in the book, so swings and roundabouts there...). But I don't have any other books published (yet) the stuff about hypnotism and psychic stuff is another Alan Gauld based in Chicago USA - I get a lot of email for him! :-) Alan G. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Sorry to both A.Gauld and Rinzwind for my previous mistake in addressing. Great,Alan,I got pretty much help from your OS tutorial in my past hard times in learning Python. I'm glad you've completed it :) Cheers Ivan ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

When looking up his books on Amazon, I found Great Lakes Ships We Remember and Forest and Shade Trees of Iowa by an entirely different Peter van der Linden. The Official Handbook of Practical Jokes is his, though. (BTW, each of Peter's technical books is highly recommended, if you're in the market for a book covering that subject matter.) ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] Totorial announcement
I've just uploaded the completed tutoroial topic on OS access. It covers most of the common questions asked on this list about determining file access, launching programs (including use of the new subprocess module), accessing environment variables etc. It also has a short intro to bitmask manipulation and bitwise operators. I've also updated the zip, tgz and pdf files too. For those interested in printing out the PDF (someone asked me recently) it currently runs to 342 pages of A4 but the margins are set so it should work fine on US Letter paper too.

Re: [Tutor] Totorial announcement
Excellent guide. I bookmarked it :-) because I plan to use it alot. Glad you like it, as you'll see I have a few more topics planned yet but each topic takes from 3-12 weeks to write... Oh, how much work (in hours) did it take it to translate your website? To translate, I don't know, some translators seem to get through the whole thing in a few months, others take a year or more. I've been working on the English version since 1998 and the rewrite to Python 2.3 took over 6 months. Working about 5-10 hours per week I guess.
