Somehow i couldn't find the errata link to the book, neither on Apress nor Springer, so i'm posting it here.
Maybe others will stumble upon it in search for answers (and/or maybe provide their findings).
Page 5 - Octal number literals: the book claims that octal number literals can be written as >>> 010. On execution, you will be presented with an SyntaxError: invalid token error.
PEP 3127 -- Integer Literal Support and Syntax from 2007-05-14 proposes that it should contain an additional o or O between the 0 and the octal number (similar to binary with 0b and hexadecimal with 0xprefix), therefore resulting in 0o10 or 0O10. This has been proposed for Python 3.0, and for backward compatibility, to Python 2.6.
