I have not read the book, but it should be noted that lack of capitalisation can be intentional. For example, “Python” would refer to the programming language, while “python” would refer to the command/program with which the language compiler/interpreter is executed. The latter can appear in prose as well, and should, by contrast to the former, be set in a monospace type. If it is truly capitalised randomly, though, as indicated by the OP’s Subject header field value (until before now repeated by everyone else), then it is of course badly written. -- PointedEars Twitter: @PointedEars2 Please do not cc me. / Bitte keine Kopien per E-Mail. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
