[Edu-sig] Petty Issue

Hello edu-sig,
I'm really sorry to waste your time, but this is the only place I
know to go to get a quick answer.
I have mentioned here before that I am teaching intermediate Python
at Symantec in June. Since they merged with another company last
year, they have some new red tape that disallows one-person
companies like myself to do business with them (it seems I don't
have enough liability insurance - true - I have none!). To get
around the system, I have to, among other things, "sell" them a
Python book with a CD in it. (Don't ask me why - this is bean
counting mentality at its best). Anyway, I can't find a worthy book
with a CD. Most are out of date or too simple. (I wish Martelli's
books had CDs!) Even John Zelle's excellent book, with has an
accompanying CD, is too basic for our needs (it's an ideal CS1 book,
of course). So: do you know of a book with a CD that is
intermediate, or... do you know of a stand-alone CD product that
covers some meaty Python?
Thanks, and again, sorry to interrupt more profitable discussion.
