Where to Look for Updates
As before, updates, corrections, and supplements for this book will be maintained at the author’s web site, http://www.rmi.net/~lutz. Look for the second edition’s link on that page for all supplemental information related to this version of the book.

There, you’ll find forms for submitting book problem reports and comments, as well as viewing the report database by various sort keys. Reports are stored in a publicly browsable database by default, but an option lets you email them privately instead. The PyErrata system also happens to be written in Python, and is an example presented and shipped with this book; see Chapter 14. Figure P-4 shows what the root page of PyErrata looks like.
