I think I have a plan to get Tim Peters to write your algorithms book:
1. Find a co-author. Algorithm books always have lots of authors anyway.
2. Have the co-author pose as a confused Python beginner and post questions
to this list. The questions should be along these lines: "I heard you can
write the Ford-Fulkerson method in Perl in three lines and it is really hard
in Python. Should I use Perl?"
3. Cut and Paste Tim's answers into the appropriate chapters of the book.
