Hi,

Thanks for the hint - I just read the current documentation on the web 
site.

It seems that the Book I read - although it describes python 2 - is a 
little outdated in this respect.

But they have lots of other mistakes in there (the "hardest" one is 
that they don't mention or describe the == operator), although they 
have a good and easy to understand style in writing.

Should anybody be interested: It's "Python 2 - Einführung und Referenz 
der objektorientierten Skriptsprache", by Martion von Löwis and Nils 
Fischbeck, second print, Addison-Wesley 2001
