I wonder if Hylang can be used to work on this book, for someone approaching Lisp from a Python background, or the impedance mismatch between Hylang and CL is too high to allow that.

I think LoL is too CL-specific. If you know both languages first, you can pretty much translate, but since they'd be trying to learn Lisp in the first place, this is a bad idea.

On the other hand, [Hissp][1] has a pretty good tutorial for anyone coming from a Python background.
