There is no real mention of python in this book, but the first edition 
is probably the best programming book I've ever read (excepting, perhaps 
Text Processing in Python by Mertz.) Well, come to think of it, check 
the latter book out. It has a great chapter on Python Regex. And its 
free to download.
