I remember around the 2004 Berlin Sprint having been approached by a 
publisher to write a book about current Python. So I asked Christian and 
Dinu to author it together, but our conclusion at that time was, that 
the work might not be worth the effort. (Printed) books on the bleeding 
edge were so fast outdated. Since books are now better spreadable and 
updateable for readers of e-Versions, I guess it is time to reconsider ...

All the best,
Stefan.
