I haven't seen the text at all, so I cannot comment on it
specifically.  (I also know that this isn't Alan's book.)

Don't let the title fool you.  Learning Python in 24 hours is a task
that couldn't be reasonably undertaken by anyone but someone who is
already an expert programmer and those books tend not to be targeted
for that audience.

A more realistic view of what is necessary to be a good programmer can
be found on Peter Norvig's site, http://www.norvig.com/21-days.html.
