Yep, we're still aiming for OSCON '06 (Portland, end of July). The coverage centers on 2.4, with mentions of what was changed in that version (to make the book usable for 2.3) and in 2.5 -- since the writing had to stop by March (after that it's copyediting, indexing, etc), I couldn't really cover the substantial additions to the standard library in 2.5 (ctypes, etree, pysqlite, &c), but language-proper changes &c (with statement, new functionality in generators, new-style exception classes, ...) I think I managed to cover adequately... but, let's wait for the reviews!-) Alex -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
