Electronic edition of 'The Standard Python Library'

[Tom]

I tried to use my electronic copy of 'The Standard Python Library' today
(Jan 1), but was unable to.

It is possible that I did something wrong - I have no idea - but I would
caution anyone else who might be considering buying this.  The book is fine,
but the format is a complete hassle.  You pay your money, but you don't
really get the book.

I have nothing against the author trying to make money from his work - I
just don't like it when copy protection schemes impede the ligit use of the
product (usually software) to such an extent.

Is there any other book like it (ie. the standard library with sample code)?

Tom.
