Deitel and Deitel Book...

[Curtis Jensen]

The only disappointing parts for me were:
The cover, definitly didn't seem targeted to the college crowd, but more 
to highschoolers.
No chapters on extending Python with C.
The XML chapters seemed to be an attempt to jump on the band wagon and 
sell books.

All in all, I think the book is well written.  The examples are usefull 
enough to figure out what is going on without reading the chapter (good 
for lazy programmers).  I lent it to a (non-programmer) friend and he 
found it more useful than the O'Reilly Python book.

Also, if your main intent for reviewing the book was for the money, I'd 
suggest playing the lotto instead.  Don't be so arogant that you think 
that your time is so precious as to complain about a temporary, 
predeterimined, pay scale.  They were upfront in their monatary 
compensation.  If you don't like it, don't review the book.
