I suppose I couldn't possibly get more off-topic, but for those
interested, O'Reilly has a "Learning Python" coming out sometime soon-ish
(March?), and "Programming Python" will be updated after the release of
Python 2.0, which is supposed to be backward-incompatible, and they
supposedly have some other Python titles in the works. But it will be a
while before they catch up to their Perl collection--I just got my copy of
"Perl in a Nutshell" in the mail today (I think--I haven't had a chance to
open the box yet...).
