I’ve been wanting to learn more about generators anyway, so I thought this was pretty fortuitous. Sadly, it took me a month to get around to reading it.

This week, I finished editing another book for Packt Publishing. The book’s name is Python Graphics Cookbook by Mike Ohlson de Fine (I think). You may wonder why I don’t know if de Fine is the author. Well, Packt thinks that its Technical Editors shouldn’t know that information. In fact, Packt is so cagey (and
