3rd line from the bottom up

The line from the book is "You can write your own plug-ins (see Chapter 10) and modules (Chapter 12) in Python."

The issue is that the second chapter number is wrong. The correct chapter number should be Chapter 19 instead of Chapter 12. Because it is talking about writing your own modules, i.e. custom modules, which is the topic of Chapter 19. Chapter 12 only mentions a little about the built-in modules in Windows and has nothing to do with writing your own modules.
