I agree.. programming python walks you though python programming though
the development of a text join and split program.. written in all sorts of
strange ways.. which leads the reader to have to figure out what the
author is trying to do in a given area before he/she can grasp the
concepts... pulling out a bit of refrences is EXTREMLY tedious... I can't
belive this was published by O'R almost all thier other books have been
AWSOME!
