(I am not the author of this entry) - I came here to find out if Mark Pilgrim had written any other books because I found Dive into Python so refreshing. I can see why you say the entry reads like an advert, although actually it's more like a review and as such I find it fair and balanced. For example the reviewer warns "This assumption may place the book out of reach of the first-time software developer. Although Python is an excellent language to learn modern programming techniques, this book makes a difficult starting point"

(The previous post was made by 84.9.114.180) I think it does read like an advert, though that's not a terrible thing. This kind of page is quite easily turned into a Good Wikipedia Page. If I read this book, I'll come back and change it. --CalPaterson 10:49, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why isn't this on wikibooks?

It's a review. it isn't even pretending to be anything else. Chris Cunningham 17:04, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
