I was just curious on your reason's behind it is all. Your nutshell
book is actually the only python book I own and I learned how to
program in python using it. I think it's very well written, just
curious why is all. Python.org does have all the modules docs anyone
could want also.

I've been meaning to pick up the cookbook also which I think you wrote
too...... I have a habbit of only buying O'Reilly books. I like their
layouts.

Thanks.
