<p>Had a recent conversation with someone who made a comment about the Python Cookbook saying &quot;they had never seen any other Python code like it.&quot;</p><p>I then recounted how the 3rd edition was written from a spreadsheet. Brian Jones and I made a spreadsheet of all planned topics in advance. We then worked to write each topic completely from scratch in the most non-hacky forward-looking Python 3 way that we could think do it. I don&#39;t really remember looking at much already existing code. 1/2</p>
