A very short story about Python in a Nutshell

So there I was just sitting there, minding my own business, and in walks
one of the programmers, holding "Python in a Nutshell". [1]

"Peter," he says, "this has gotta be the best book you've bought so far. [2]
Every thing I need to look up, it's got it."

THE END

(I told you it was a very short story.)

[2] I've bought at least 50 computer books in the last couple of years.
