Should I write a book on Python Metaprogramming ?

[Bryan]

my thoughts exactly.  i don't have the time or the desire to learn a concept
in a language i'm not familiar with, then "port" it in the most pythonic
way.  if this book is python centric, i'll definitely buy it.  it's a topic
i would like to learn more about.
