<p>Iterators are everywhere in Python 3, and I understand them a lot better than I did five years ago when I wrote &#8220;Dive Into Python&#8221;. You need to understand them too, because lots of functions that used to return lists in Python 2 will now return iterators in Python 3. At a minimum, you should read <a href=iterators.html#a-fibonacci-iterator>the second half of the Iterators chapter</a> and <a href=advanced-iterators.html#generator-expressions>the second half of the Advanced Iterators chapter</a>.
<p>By popular request, I&#8217;ve added an appendix on <a href=special-method-names.html>Special Method Names</a>, which is kind of like <a href="http://www.python.org/doc/3.0/reference/datamodel.html#special-method-names">the Python docs &#8220;Data Model&#8221; chapter</a> but with more snark.

<p>That&#8217;s it for now; the book&#8217;s not finished yet! The file I/O subsystem is totally different now; I hope to write about that soon. There are much better choices for XML processing now; I hope to write about that, too.
<p>When I was writing &#8220;Dive Into Python&#8221;, all of the available XML libraries sucked. Then Fredrik Lundh wrote <a href=http://effbot.org/zone/element-index.htm>ElementTree</a>, which doesn&#8217;t suck at all. Then the Python gods wisely <a href=http://docs.python.org/3.0/library/xml.etree.elementtree.html>incorporated ElementTree into the standard library</a>, and now it forms the basis for <a href=xml.html>my new XML chapter</a>. The old ways of parsing XML are still around, but you should avoid them, because they suck!
<p>That&#8217;s it for now; the book&#8217;s not finished yet! The file I/O subsystem is totally different now; I hope to write about that soon.
