I would kill for such a book.  Especially since the only book on the
subject I see recommended has been out of print for a while.
My preference is for books that go into the subject fairly deeply in a
general way.  I definitely would want you to address the subject in
python, but if other languages would help explain the concepts
(including any that may not be present in python), by all means bring
them in.

I would be more than happy out to help with proofreading, comments,
etc.  I know python fairly well, metaprogramming not well at all, but
I'm good with English. :)
