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!
