I am a believer as well :-) The first edition of PP was my intro in the
world of Python. I still think mr. Lutz dit an excellent job on that
one. I recently purchased the second edition and am reading it back to
back. IMHO the book is written in a consistent manner, has lots of humor
<quite important :-)> in it and many insightfull examples.
However, I agree that some improvements should be made on the index. It
is sometimes hard to find what one needs. Thats why I also bought
"Python Pocket Reference"...
hope this helps :-)
