ISO library ref in printed form

Does anyone know where I can buy the Python library reference in
printed form? (I'd rather not print the whole 1200+-page tome
myself.) I'm interested in both/either 2.6 and 3.0.

TIA!

Personally, I'd get the new Beazley's Python Essential Reference,
which is due out "real soon now," and then use the provided docs
as a addon. Also consider grabbing Gruet's "Python Quick Reference"
page. When I was working in a printer site I printed the color
version of Gruet's page two-sided; it was neither too bulky nor
too sketchy for my needs (and he uses color to distinguish
version-to-version changes).
http://rgruet.free.fr/
Sadly, I no longer work there, so my copy is gone. :-(

There used to be one for Python 2.1, but I can't tell whether it's ever
been updated because the website isn't responding:

Hmmm. That's a shame. How is one supposed to keep it under one's
pillow???

Not quite what I had in mind, but handy all the same. Thanks.

That's what netbooks were created for...

Maybe you can have a copy printed at lulu.com. It would even be nicer if
the PSF would offer them at lulu. They could even make some money from
it if enough copies would be sold..

Interesting idea... Doesn't look like they offer such service.

That would be great.

Why not download the documentation, take it to a local copy shop and
have it printed and bound there?

You can upload your own PDF file and have them print a single copy. You
would have to split the file yourself in manageble pieces (< 600
something pages)
