Start Here

No you guys are awesome. Keep up

i think it’s a bit too advanced for me but here goes :-) love this site and the content/materials are great

Just started working my way through the book at the moment. The part about setting up Visual Studio might be worth re-jigging, I got myself stuck when trying to compile only to find a short while later finding I need to run the bat file.

Loving the book so far though, already learned a fair bit, just reading the grammar section, i had no idea try had an else clause (never mind even knowing where to look to find the grammar).

I’ve read Real Python’s posts on the CPython source code. This is now taking it to the next level, and I couldn’t be more excited. 🙏

Do we get a physical copy?

I agree with aamelgar. Like the Python Tricks book (Which is awesome!) I would like a physical copy as well.

it looks nice i will read it and keep you posted

Excited to get started on this book!

The Paperback version will be released at a later date when the book is out of early access. We’ll announce when it is available to order.

I need the Paperback please

Great work Anthony et al! Just the resource I’ve been looking for :)

If we already payed for the prerelease, will we get the paperback when it comes out?

Once we’re out of Early Access with the digital edition we are going to get a paperback version ready for publishing. When the paperback version is released it will be a separate purchase from Amazon or your favorite local book store.

Will work through the book and give comments and learn CPython of course.

Thank you. It was a pleasant read. I’d be happy to read more on different modules in the standard library :)

Hi. Hate to be the first one. I’m stuck. I cannot get to call ./configure properly. Have done autoreconf -i first and still nothing. Error is:

checking for git... found
configure: error: cannot run /bin/bash ./config.sub

Also, I am on WSL 2, can’t say if it’s part of the issue. When I run make -j2 -s I get error no targets. Anyone help?

UPDATE: I have done some progress. Doing dos2unix ** helped ./configure do its thing.

However, it doesn’t make the Makefile as ./configure still errors out. It says, at the very end of the ./configure process "mv: cannot stat 'config.c': No such file or directory"

Will continue trying, however, any help is appreciated.

EDIT to UPDATE: I also had to pass the build type in order to ./configure commence its process, --build=i689-pc-linux

SOLUTION: I deleted everything and cloned it again. This time, I used the force (-f) option when doing the git checkout. Then, regular ./configure and make -j8 succeeded.

Great information and AWESOME formatting! This is how modern tech books should look. So easy to read the code examples. Thanks for the book and awesome site!
