Many people had a hand in this work beyond my typing at
the keyboard. Some contributed by their effort and others by
their sacrice. Thanks to the team at Packt for their consistent
understanding and support. I am particularly thankful to Steven
Wilding for help and support above and beyond the call of duty.
Thanks also to Andy Dustman, Geert Vanderkelen, and Swaroop for
their helpful review of this book and for making so many signicant
and helpful recommendations. This book would be much the poorer
were it not for their suggestions.
To Richard Goodrich, who rst introduced me to Python, thank you
for liberating me from bondage to that other P-language. Funny
what a little problem can lead to.
My heartfelt thanks and appreciation go to my wife, Michelle, and
my sons, Cyrus and Jacob. The latter was born during the writing
of this book and consistently brightens even the darkest Scottish
weather with his smile. I appreciate your sacrice. I could not have
written this book without your support.
Finally, my thanks to my brother, Larry, who rst introduced me to
the world of computing. I would probably not know anything about
computer programming if you had not left me your TRS-80. So this
is all your fault, and I am glad you did it.
