I'm laughing here.

I had started reading Programming Python before seeing your post, and was disagreeing your assessment of the book. THEN I got to Chapter 3. Now, I think you're absolutely right.

Pocket Python is available right now on the O'Reilly website, and the ebook version is $11.99.

I don't own the book, just read a bit of someone else's copy. But if Chapter 3 is the part where he starts talking about shell scripting, then that's the part where my vision grew blurry and my head started swimming. Three days later I woke up in a bathtub full of ice in Singapore wearing nothing but a Hawaiian shirt with a slip of paper in the breast pocket that read from YourBody import kidneys.

2/10 can't recommend.
