Yes. I'd buy it. I'd prefer that it focused on Python, but not only
because it's a language I know. I'm perfectly willing to buy a book
on a subject I want that's in an unfamiliar language, but only if that
language is simple, and the author avoids obscure (to the novice)
idioms except where they're motivated by the subject.
