I still have the 2e of this too. :-)

But it is a radically different book to the 4th Ed which I recommended.
The 2Ed has much more focus on Python the language whereas the 4th ed
has switched to looking more at the library and programming in
the large. It is targetting those who have already read his
Learning Python book or similar.  Its also targetted at Python v3.
(albeit v3.2!)

This is one book where the edition makes a huge difference!
