There's a link from 
http://www2.linuxjournal.com/cgi-bin/frames.pl/index.html that says it 
includes May's Python supplement, but I've not downloaded it.

I'm hesitant to show that article to friends. I keep thinking that after 
such praise, they're sure to be disappointed in the reality. Then I think 
"but what's to disappoint?"
