The slightly older .pdf version is a bit bizarre as parts of both text 
and code are only half-translated from Java. The testing chapter 
contains obviously untested code like TestDemo.py [sic] with Java lines like
    id = ++objCounter  # this is supposed to increment objCounter
    TestDemo test1 = TestDemo('test1')
    # I presume this declares test1 as a TestDemo object
and text with Javaisms like *static*, *public*, *private*, *protected*, 
and *friendly* and "a little review of Java packages".

Perhaps the later sections are more useful.
