Well, not bad. :-)
|
|
4 to a page would be a mess for my eyes, BTW.
|
|
|
|
I printed the manuals once when 1.4 was out, then never again.
|
|
But I would buy it as a book if it were available.
|
|
Therefore, I decided to take this as a toy project,
|
|
and to turn this all into a real book, with Framemaker.
|
|
I'm currently seeking for a publisher who wants it,
|
|
and I will prepare a book with the Python docs around
|
|
July (being occupied before).
|
|
I hope that this will be already for Python 1.6.
