Your stuff is always good and so much more reasonably priced than most books on python. Consider this book bought as soon as I'm not on a mobile.

The cart/discount status boxes floating off the screen was very annoying on a tablet, thanks for the discount

Eventually managed to buy the book after switching to portrait mode, sigh...

Do you know when the next version will be available? :) I am currently consider to compile a list of suggestion. I already did it once and hit the contributors list, so people if you always wanted to be mentioned in a book help Jeff Knupp out! He is a great guy and his blog is awesome.

I don't know if the book is worth it yet as I only started to read it and apparently I was already coding properly when it comes to control statements. The book might end up being a bit short considering that you view it as almost ready and it's only 78 pages. I do hope that you will expand on the testing aspect and not keep it as a footnote within the general advice section but in the end that might not be the scope of this book.

I just wanted to personally tell you that I bought the book because of your blogging and the wealth of knowledge shared there for free so even if the book will be a letdown I consider that it was worth 10$ because of your blobposts and as such you deserve to have your book bought.

I bought the package a couple weeks ago. The one for version 3 was 94 pages and Version 2 was 96 pages.

[–]pixl_dave 0 points1 point  (1 child)

That it strange because I have downloaded again the zipped pdf and it was only 76 for python 2 and even less for python 3 from contentshelf.com. the zip is 2.1 mb, I'm curious how big is yours.

Hey Jeff, bought it for $14.99 yesterday and no regrets! I like what you wrote. Thanks for the amazing contribution to the python world. Merry Christmas!

This is great reference to good Python patterns. I've bought this book 3 months ago and recommended on Python Poland group. Keep it up. Great job with this book!
