Funny. Speaking of Java, I saw a used book on design patterns, that
wasn't too old, but all the examples were in Java. Why not just hit
myself in the head with a brick?

Except for a really old general book, all the recent books on design
patterns, which I was curious about, are on specific languages -
design patterns for Java (speak of the devil), Visual Basic, Tcl, even
Android. But I couldn't fine One on Python. Is there a reason for
this? Don't they play well with Python, or did I miss the book
somehow?

Loads of the design pattern stuff is written to help programmers get around the straight jacket that languages can impose, whereas implementating the same patterns in Python is often ludicrously easy.

If you want to dig further, I suggest you arm yourself with plenty of coffee and sandwiches, then use your favourite search engine to hunt for "Python patterns Alex Martelli". Enjoy :)
