Acknowledgments
I couldn’t have written a book like this without the help of a lot of people. I’d like to thank Bill Pollock; my editors, Laurel Chun, Leslie Shen, Greg Poulos, and Jennifer Griffith-Delgado; and the rest of the staff at No Starch Press for their invaluable help. Thanks to my tech reviewer, Ari Lacenski, for great suggestions, edits, and support.
Many thanks to our Benevolent Dictator For Life, Guido van Rossum, and everyone at the Python Software Foundation for their great work. The Python community is the best one I’ve found in the tech industry.
Finally, I would like to thank my family, friends, and the gang at Shotwell’s for not minding the busy life I’ve had while writing this book. Cheers!
