HTML book version available
I'm working on the second version of this book, making editing changes, revising sections, adding new information; in general, trying to make it better than it currently is. When completed (no ETA on that) I plan on publishing it more ebook versions, along with a physical book.a

Published versions coming soon
So, when the next edition is done, I will publish it for those people who want to purchase a version that isn't just a PDF.
2nd Edition in progress
Thankfully, when I do have time to work on it, there isn't that much that needs to be modified/updated. The main thing is adding more information about Python 3. Since Python 3 has been out for a year now, it's more mainstream. I may actually rewrite the book to showcase Python 3 and just add a chapter talking about Python 2.x. I figure most people will be using Python 3 but some *nix distributions are still using the older versions of Python, so it's good to know what the differences are.
So, when I get a chance, the next edition will be posted to a web link and torrent sites, like the current edition.

Ebook direct file link available
I finally had a chance to upload the book to a file hosting site. Now, visitors can download the ebook (with supporting source code files) directly, without having to mess around with torrent files.
The link to the .zip file is on the left side of this page, or you can use this direct link. I am working on creating other formats, e.g. ODF, HTML, etc. but my LaTeX software doesn't want to convert correctly.
However, I'm also going to work on a revision to this book so I might just hold off on the file conversions until I have the latest revision completed. Most people seem to prefer PDF files for ebooks anyways, so I don't expect the lack of version to be a big issues.
If you have a file preference you would like to see, post in the comments and I will see what I can do. Thanks.
