I've just picked this book up (i.e., I've owned the book for a while,
but not picked it up....) and I'm extremely impressed.  Mark and Andy
explain things beautifully: I'd suggest that this is valuable /even/
for non-windows programmers, for the quality of examples showing how
to apply "thinking in Python" to a wide range of problems.  It's not a
language tutorial, though.

Mark and Andy: thanks!  I'm enjoying this one!
