I suggest you get another book.  I am currently reading that book, and
unless you are an experienced programmer that can detect all the
mistakes, and you have another book like "Python in a Nutshell" to
fill in all the gaps, I don't think you can learn python from that
book.

I recently looked at Learning Python in the bookstore, and it seems a
lot better.  Unfortunately, it doesn't reflect the major changes in
python over the last couple of years, but I would still recommend it
over Beginning Python: From Novice to Professional.
