learning python...

[Benjamin.Altman]

Do you know how it compares to the first edition in terms of presentation and
indexing?  I have heard from a few people that it is difficult to look up things in
the 1st edition.  The only review on amazon of the 2nd ed. claims it is a complete
rewrite despite his admitance that he has never read the book...

Thanks,
Ben
