Color Key: Serious Technical Mistake Minor Technical Mistake Language or formatting error Typo Question Note Update

Version	Location	Description	Submitted By	Date Submitted	Date Corrected
PDF	Page 23 Second line of first in-line example.	The line rows_by_lfname = sorted(rows, key=lambda r: (r['lname','fname'])) gets an exception : KeyError: ('lname', 'fname'). I believe that it should read rows_by_lfname = sorted(rows, key=lambda r: (r['lname'], r['fname'])) Note from the Author or Editor: Fixed in final book.	Colin McPhail	May 04, 2013
PDF	Page 293 Last paragraph, second to last line	On page 293, last paragraph, second to last line the sentence 'By using setattr() to set the values...' breaks the 'setattr()' awkwardly, putting the 'se' on one line and 'tattr()' on the next line. Note from the Author or Editor: Still in print edition.	Nick Stevens	Mar 11, 2013
