Yep, we're still aiming for OSCON '06 (Portland, end of July).  The
coverage centers on 2.4, with mentions of what was changed in that
version (to make the book usable for 2.3) and in 2.5 -- since the
writing had to stop by March (after that it's copyediting, indexing,
etc), I couldn't really cover the substantial additions to the standard
library in 2.5 (ctypes, etree, pysqlite, &c), but language-proper
changes &c (with statement, new functionality in generators, new-style
exception classes, ...) I think I managed to cover adequately... but,
let's wait for the reviews!-)
