Hi All, 

I am writing to you for Packt Publishing, the publishers computer related books.

We are planning to extend our catalogue of cookbooks and are currently inviting "Python" fanatics interested in writing a cookbook. So, if you love "Python" and are interested in writing a cookbook, please contact us with your book ideas at author at packtpub.com. Even if you do not have a book idea and are simply interested in authoring a cookbook, we are keen to hear from you. 

More details about the opportunity are available at: http://authors.packtpub.com/content/python-fanatics-invited-write-packt

How does this differ from the existing _Python Cookbook_ from O'Reilly?

Hi Aahz,

Our cookbooks will be more focussed on specific python topics, like 
Mercurial, Python Graphics Framework Python
imagining library, Python GUI Frameworks like PyQT and PyGTK or Python 
Implementations like Jython as the press release here says:
http://authors.packtpub.com/content/python-fanatics-invited-write-packt

Hope this helps :-)

Thanks
Kshipra
