I've had Mark's Python Programming on Win32 book for 6 years now, and 
it's been a constant source of information and a joy to read and possess.

Windows has added a lot since the book hit the shelves, with the 
maturation of .Net, winforms and other application technologies, and a 
"new" OS.  There's still the old way of doing things with COM, etc.  The 
Ctypes package has also fleshed out to be very useful on Windows.  Then 
there's IronPython, and Python for .Net.

So.... Mark, I love your book.  I just was wishing that you would 
produce another one.  Even on the topics you covered (COM, services, for 
example), much more could be said in a new edition.

I'm hoping this post will become a plea from the many other fans of your 
book that you have.  Pythoneers, please post your support!
