Yes, but not about Python., Its a software engineering reference book 
- a catalog of design notations if you like.

Its coming very slowly coz it needs lots of detailed research to make 
sure the details are correct. I'm aiming to have it out by this time next 
year - I'm a slow writer and also have a day job! :-)
 
>  Are you going to have it available online too so you can download it? 
 
Probably not, its much more complex (lots of diagrams etc) so much 
harder to maintain on a web site - and I'm lazy! I might put some of the 
more pertinent notations (ie those related to detailed design rather than 
requirement analysis etc)  linked from the Python tutor tho'
 
Thanks for the interest,
 
Alan G.
