Page 34 top code section:

   
string.translate(x, string.maketrans{'i','o'), '\t')

should be (change "{" to "(" after maketran):

 
string.translate(x, string.maketrans('i','o'), '\t')

Page 235 middle of page:

>>> r"\the" == "\\the"
0
>>> r"the" == "\the"
1

1
>>> r"the" == "\the"
0

Page 318 (see source code download):

    for item in self.items:
	if item in self.selected:
	s.append(str(Input(type=self.widgettype, name=self.name,
	    checked=1)))
    else:
	s.append(str(Input(type=self.widgettype,
	    name=self.name)))
	s.append(str(item))
	s.append(sep)
    return string.join(s[:-1], "")

should be:

    for item in self.items:
	if item in self.selected:
	    s.append(str(Input(type=self.widgettype,
			name=self.name, checked=1)))
	else:
