ANN: (the eff-bot guide to) The Standard Python Library

[Fredrik Lundh]

looks like this is going to be a busy week, bookwise.
david beazley's "python essential reference" is to be
released tomorrow, tim altom's "programming with
python" on wednesday, and there's a whole crop of
books to be released in the near future, including
books by ken macdonald, ivan van laningham, and
martin brown.

but I'm first!!! ;-)

I've sifted through my postings to this newsgroup,
and squeezed over 300 scripts into a 256-page vol-
ume.  most of the material is updated, and I've
added lots of new material in order to cover the
entire standard library.

you'll find the full announcement below.

as for my upcoming tkinter book, I'm now focussing
on getting that one through production.  watch my
status page for current info on that one.

anyway, hope you'll find this one useful!
