acknowledgments

You and I have something in common: I also read everything in a book, including the acknowledgments. As a reader, I’d always wondered just how much the author was expected to say—and how much was genuine. Now that I find myself writing my own acknowledgments section, I find myself at a loss: How do I properly express gratitude to all those deserving?

Cliche as it may be, I’ll start with my wife. She had unwavering enthusiasm throughout this project and confidence when mine was waning. Her support means everything to me. I’m a very lucky man.

Although my parents think Python has something to do with slithering animals, I’m still grateful for everything they have provided me. Whether nature or nurture, they can take more credit than most.
