<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>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.
