Have you thought about a Book on Demand service? (for example www.bod.com or
something similar)

You'd probably get the best of both worlds: a better share/book and
worldwide distribution.

Since you are well known in the Python community, I'd imagine that you could
cover the initial costs by preordered (and prepayed books).
