Uhh, that looks like a scam. Someone scraped the Python docs and bundled
it up as a "book" to sell to naive people for outrageous prices; and put
Guido's name on it to give it legitimacy.

It also bundles up the *tutorial* for $22. There's a number of very
good, large Python books which sell for that. Surely Fred L Drake and
Gudio aren't really involved in this. I wonder if they even know about it.
