This book could not have happened without the support and encouragement of my amazing wife, Dana. For this second edition I've worked closely with more people in the Packt team, and their help has been invaluable. Also, great thanks to the reviewers – their comments have improved this book. Finally, I'd like to thank the whole Python community. I can't overstate what a joy it is to be a developer in the Python world.
