I have the old edition of "Programming Python" by Mark Lutz.
I do not know if Oreilly suggests that I pay the full price
for this new edition. These days, there seems to be a newer
edition so often, that we programmers have become suckers 
for the publishing company. Java is the classical example.

Oreilly should take the leadership in this area, in selling 
newer editions at substantial discounts for owners of older 
editions, or follow Bruce Eckel's model of putting the whole
book on the web. What do you folks think ?
