In french, 'Python précis & concis', from O'Reilly is now out :
from Mark Lutz, it covers python 2.4 (and decorators).<br>
I assume there is a english edition of this book.<br>

<pre wrap=""><!---->I have. But I'd rather have a complete book on these subjects ;-)
I'm sure someone will write one in the end. Hopefully Alex Martelli
will. He currently runs a course on these subjects.
The reason I wrote to O'Reilly originally was because the 2nd Edition of
the 'Advanced Perl Programming' book had just come out and I noticed how
perl had so many books (almost 40) written about it but Python only had
9. An advanced Python book seemed to be the one that was so obviously
missing.

<pre wrap=""><!---->I'm still waiting for O'Reilly to publish the Table of Contents so I can
see what's in it.
As everyone else has noted, the cover is definitely one of their best.
Cheers,
