Elsewhere in this thread there have been discussions regarding the fact
that it's been several years since the last major Python book was released.
However, notice that the C Programming Language book is in the top 500 and
it is quite a few years old!  Same for the Tcl and the Tk Toolkit book -
that reflects Tcl 7.3 (5 or so yrs ago) and people are still buying it...
