I downloaded it and went through it, counting the # of times Python
is mentioned as an exercise . It is not a joke and Python is mentioned
not only in page 1, but in pages 6, 18, 205, 206, 210, 212, 213, 214, 216,
217, 316, 428 and 489 - so that there is no doubt :)

It is easy. The link is below, just download and verify yourselves.
