Thanks for the hint - I just read the current documentation on the web
site.
It seems that the Book I read - although it describes python 2 - is a
little outdated in this respect.
But they have lots of other mistakes in there (the "hardest" one is
that they don't mention or describe the == operator), although they
have a good and easy to understand style in writing.
Should anybody be interested: It's "Python 2 - Einführung und Referenz
der objektorientierten Skriptsprache", by Martion von Löwis and Nils
Fischbeck, second print, Addison-Wesley 2001
