hi johan,

this book is long out-of-print, and i doubt any revision is coming in
the near-term (but i don't know for sure).  what is it about this book
that interests you?  is it the title alone?

if so, there are plenty of current books out there with material that
you're looking for.  you could also tell us what topics are of
interest to you.  if not, then we should still be able to help you
with your interest areas.

for example, i teach a 3-hour tutorial with that very same name, i.e.,
http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyCon2006/Tutorials/InternetProgrammingWithPython
and it involves 3 distinct areas of "internet programming," namely
socket programming, internet *client* programming (i.e., FTP, NNTP,
SMTP, POP3, etc.), and finally, web and CGI programming.  there are
corresponding chapters in my book, "Core Python" too.  other books out
there include "Foundations of Python Network Programming" by John
Goerzen, and another one by Steve Holden, "Python Web Programming,"
both of which are very good.

hope this helps, but if you want more help, you need to be more
specific about your interest areas.

cheers,
