I think I've learnt more from fixing coding errors in examples than I ever
did from cutting and pasting working code

Ironically, one of the worst books I ever remember trying to learn from was
a book on Python.

Noticed a new redbook out there. still in draft.

Nice find.

Chapter 8. Interfacing

This chapter includes a section on using Python to call stored
procedures and service programs. Unfortunately, it's got a number of
errors. Which is especially disappointing because the errors I'm
noticing are in the code samples. Isn't the first rule of including
code samples "only paste actual, working code verbatim into the
manuscript; never, ever, EVER try to compose or edit code in the
manuscript"?

At least, this is what we constantly try to hammer into Stack Overflow
newbies.
