(pavel-dot-simo-at-gmail-dot-com)I recently finished reading Byte of Python, and I thought I really ought to thank you. I was very sad to reach the final pages as I now have to go back to dull,tedious oreilly or etc. manuals for learning about python. Anyway, I reallyappreciate your book -

(sy-one-three-seven-at-gmail-dot-com)Dear Swaroop, I am taking a class from an instructor that has no interest inteaching. We are using Learning Python, second edition, by O'Reilly. It is not atext for beginner without any programming knowledge, and an instructor thatshould be working in another field. Thank you very much for your book, without itI would be cluless about Python and programming. Thanks a million, you are ableto 'break the message down' to a level that beginners can understand and noteveryone can. -
