If: YES!
When: Soon.
We're in the copy-editing & production phases, which are done by O'Reilly.

Glad to hear you say so!
It was a _lot_ more work for Alex Martelli, me, and the O'Reilly folks
than anyone had planned. I'm quite pleased with where it's ended,
though! Hopefull the readership will be as well.

We will.
I am convinced this book and standard lib will bring thousands of new
programmers to Python. Most people are too lazy and/or busy to learn from
start to finish. They want to open up a tome of recipes, grab the recipe
that closely resembles their problem at hand and munge it into a working
solution. What I think is so great about Python is -- people will be able
to do this with unprecedented ease! After a few recipe experiments people
will have an intuitive feel for the language.
Thanks to all people who pen Python articles, editorials and books. You all
are invaluable.
