I would frankly not bother with Packt's ePub even if you can find it. Their PDFs are great, and DRM-free. Their selection of books and content acquisition is great. They are the perfect niche publisher, excepting the ePub problems. Their ePub output strips all leading indentation and meaningful whitespace inside each line of code samples, making them unreadable -- this is a problem for all Packt ePub books. This is a problem for Python, buildout.cfg files, etc -- even C-style languages are hard to read without leading indentation in code samples. I have purchased a few handfuls of Packt ebooks, and I've emailed Packt customer service about this twice with a response to the tune that "they are working on it" -- I gave up on hoping for that a few months ago. The PDFs are obviously not ideal for small screens (even high-res like the iPhone 4), but they look great on tablets and computer displays.
