Yes, Just back from vacation which I spent proof reading 
the 'final' (never say final ;-) draft.

I'm hoping it will be out before the end of the year.

Since last mentioned I have dropped the VB and JScript 
bits at the request of the reviewers so its now purely 
Python(and a couple of other snippets in QBASIC where Python 
wouldn't quite hack it - demonstrating GOTO and INKEY$ etc).

I have Ivan's book on order and it should be with me soon 
so I'll be able to say how much overlap there is when I see it!

PS. The other book I read on holiday was The Pragmatic Programmer
on Addison Wesley - highly recommended to anyone who has passed 
the complete newbie phase.
