Re: [Added Bytes] Re: Python Cheat Sheet

Charly, it's never too late - even after a cheat sheet has been
released I'm happy to change it if someone has an improvement. :)

Great suggestions, too. List methods are a definite yes, and date and
time methods sound useful too. What information, precisely, would you
want to see added in a string formatting section?

The Python cheat sheet is going to be delayed a couple of weeks - I've
not had a chance to replace the regex section yet, so going to release
the SVN one ahead of Python.
