Professional Python Frameworks: Web 2.0 Programming with Django and Turbogears. Apparently published by Wrox in October 2007, beating the “official” Django book by just over a month. Has anyone seen this on bookshelves yet?

Lawrence's crappy Borders (one freeking aisle for computer books!) doesn't have it, but I leafed through it in Kansas City a week or so ago.
Looks relatively nice, though I'm a bit confused why they tried to cover both in the same book without discussing why you'd choose one or the other. It seems more like two books smushed into one.
Content-wise it's pretty good; I didn't notice any obvious errors or omissions, but I only skimmed for a couple of minutes.
I saw it a month or so ago at either B&N or Borders. I just glanced through it, but it seemed too basic for me. Your money might be better spent on the the Django Book.

Seems like this book does not know what is wan't. I'm staying away from it.

Book looks OK. I like the approach of writing a "Web 2.0" app in vanilla Python (although why the cgi module wasn't used is a mystery), then rewriting in TG and Django. A few people have commented that Django isn't given as much coverage as TG, but that doesn't really bother me given the imminent arrival of the "official" Django book.
I've only read the first couple of chapters thus far, but have spotted a couple of factual errors and a couple of code listing errors :(

Well, I ordered it actually but did not arrive yet. Will comment back when it's here. The official Django book is of course ordered as well. (via amazon)
