Update Oreilly books?

[Laura Lewin]

Hi,
I wanted to write to respond to the comments on ORA books.  First off,
thanks for writing about this.  I take your comments very seriously,
and try to incorporate your suggestions whenever possible.

We aren't updating Programming Python right away.  The author is
currently working on the update to Learning Python.  Please note that
when we do update Programming Python again, we will make sure to put
some language reference in the book, along with the tools and
applications.  I understand that folks are missing this, and we will
meet the needs of readers.  Please feel free to email me with any
other comments or suggestions.
