("What's New in Python 2.4": "Other Language Changes")
In the blurb for sorted(), it has:

>>> L = [9,7,8,3,2,4,1,6,5]
>>> [10+i for i in sorted(L)]       # usable in a list 
comprehension
[11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19]
>>> L = [9,7,8,3,2,4,1,6,5]         # original is left 
unchanged
[9,7,8,3,2,4,1,6,5]

I think the second-last line should just be
>>> L    # original is left unchanged

----

Also, in

>>> sorted('Monte Python')

it might be less distracting to use the 'standard' 
spelling "Monty".
