Nobody has any certainties yet, sigh (as the author, I should know).

I delivered the final draft to the editor within my deadline for
Nov 1 publication, but, alas, the Python Nutshell book then ended
up in the queue behind the PHP Cookbook and got pushed back by it --
so, nothing much has happened over the last 2 months or so.  The
PHP Cookbook, I believe, is now done and over with, and the Nutshell
should be next in queue for final editing, checking and processing.

But this means I can't yet give you a reliable prediction for the
date the book will be on the shelves -- it's basically all in
O'Reilly's hands now, even though I'll still have some minor checks
etc to do as they do their part of the job.

Thanks for your patience...!-(
