i think this is rather dishonest to call this "SICP in Python" and the same goes for the title of this post. this is not SICP and is not simply a port of the code found in SICP to python with the text unchanged. it's simply a book that seems inspired by SICP but the introduction doesn't go into any detail other than saying it's "derived from" SICP. this is misleading to people who aren't familiar with SICP and think this book is it but just for python.

Agreed. Just a casual browse of the TOC will point out that even at the coarsest-grained level, only 40-60% of the book follows the SICP lesson plan.
