I thought there was only one edition of that book??? Mine is copyright
2001. If it based on Python 1.5.2 but has remarks and appendices for
2.0. The only book I know of that assume more than Python 2.0 is the
Python 2.1 Bible (which I also have...and recommend only as a reference
for someone who already knows Python). Most of the recent ones are
either based on 1.5.2 with appendices referring to changes in 2.0, or
they are based on 2.0. That's as recent as you're going to get.
