Very nice book, and a good complement to ProgPyth, a (much) larger and somewhat difficult book to learn the language from. Very much in the same humor as the Learning Perl book


and as enjoyabe to learn from. That's a good tie-in, BTW: The ProgPerl book has a camel, and the LPerl book has a llama, which in most aspects is just a small camel (with the same


crappy attitude). While the wood rat makes sense, it is just the right size to be the perfect snack for a hungry python, I thought this would make even more sense. There is a small green


snake in the South US that lives almost all of its life in oak trees eating bugs and being chased around by birds. It is just the perfect python-wannabee. It would want to be a python if it


could just grow up! Much like the beginning Python hacker...
