I don't, either, but seeing as Mr. Seitz is now a member, and posting in this thread, I'll bet he could provide the answer... Roll Eyes

Got my copies of the book from No Starch for ChicagoCon and for Ryan to review. Quote from Chapter 1 of the book answers your question:

Quote

This chapter quickly covers the installation of Python 2.5, configuring your Eclipse development environment, and the basics of writing C-compatible code with Python. Once you have set up the environment and understand the basics, the world is your oyster; this book will show you how to crack it open.

Not surprisingly (especially if you read Juston's bio), it is recommended that you install Immunity Debugger which also contains an installer for Python 2.5. The book uses Immunity Debugger in many later chapters, so he simply thinks you should kill 2 birds with one stone. Makes sense.

I'll stop here as to not steal Ryan's thunder before he even gets his hands on the book. Lips sealed

As a side note, if you haven't tried Immunity Debugger yet you should give it a try. I started using it when I went for NOP certification at Defcon last year and it was pretty sweet. I hope to get the write up done shortly after ChicagoCon so I will share more then. But as many RE tools seem to be moving to Python, checking out Immunity Debugger is something folks should do anyway.

Looking forward to your review, Ryan.

Always nice to compare against one's own thinking. I picked up my copy, yesterday, and really looking forward to diving into it. (Would've last night, already, but had an exceedingly long drive back from an onsite gig.)

Anxious doesn't give it enough weight...!
