Yes, this is Fredrik Lundh's eff-bot guide to The Standard Python
Library which is an on-line book in e-Matter format.  This looks like
it would be a great book for what I need, but there are a few
problems.  First, eMatter is not currently available for Unix/Linux.
While I do have access to Microsoft Windows, I don't own such a
machine.  Because the eMatter license is tied to the particular
computer you install the book on, this pretty much rules it out for me
as a possibility which is unfortunate.  Second, at $12.00, the book
seems a bit expensive for what it is.  I can understand paying that
much for an eMatter version of a published book which has gone through
a rigorous and professional editing process, but not otherwise.
Nonetheless, I'd still buy it if it supported Linux.
