This is the only saving grace of this book.  What is so sad is that they'll
end up making tons of money (to my knowledge, two of their books are
textbooks:  C++ and Java) with their money making publishing machines while
someone like Mark Hammond can not find a job.
Of course not to mention that they may be probably going ahead for plans for
a book on Python (Complete Python Lab maybe) with a CD and start their won
consulting business on Python.  Rediculous!
Then of course we'll see some professors assigning the D & D Python book as
a textbook on a scripting language.  How disgusting!
