This book is also available in the Ubuntu repositories, as package "diveintopython". Once you install it, open with Firefox the page file:///usr/share/doc/diveintopython/html/index.html and start reading. The examples are found in /usr/share/doc/diveintopython/examples/ Simos -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
