All right, let me ask: are there any reviewers who think that PyHTP looks
like a book written by Python programmers rather than a book written by
Java programmers?

Yup.  A lot of *opinionated* reviewers, at that.  In all fairness, it's
pretty clear that Deitel paid a fair amount of attention to our
comments, but thought it was more important to stick with the style of
their existing books.  And, heck, they *did* pay well for my time.
