Is the book DRM free? Sorry to be this paranoid, but you cannot be sure today.

I'd like to mention that despite OOP being in the title, I thought this book had a lot to teach that isn't specific to OOP architecture or OOP languages. Really, I think the star of the show is TDD and refactoring.

For a short intro to Sandi's style and approach, I always recommend this 35min talk: https://youtu.be/OMPfEXIlTVE?si=Ird6t8uDN86T06Y7

Aside from any specifically educational content, as a talk it is fantastic - funny, smart, well put together.

This is one of my favorite software development books of all time. It's the book that finally offered straight forward guidance and wisdom on how to properly utilize OOP language features.

I'm very happy to see it out for Python!

> The 2nd Edition contains 3 new chapters and is about 50% longer than the 1st.

I've never really had the problem that I've read an OOP text and felt "this was too short".

Maybe this is misguided, but it feels a bit to me (comparing the ruby and js versions for example) that this is using the same code examples in both, and neither are really typical of the sorts of code people in either language community would actually write?
