Awesome book, Anthony. This is an instant favourite.

I’m having trouble executing the python compiled executable file. The program fails to execute and gives this error message: error while loading shared libraries: libpython3.9.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. What did I do wrong?

I believe I folowed the exact steps in the chapter. I’ve tried executing, with the exact same error message, in both mac os big sur and ubuntu running on wsl2. Please help.

I’ve got some great news to share: We’re officially ending the Early Access phase for the book today :) This update is huge, with a full proofreading pass, minor and major layout improvements to pretty much every chapter. So go ahead and download your updated book files on this page under the Description tab.

Happy Pythoning!

Hi,

stupid question: After buying the book, will I receive a hard copy or is the book only an ebook?

We are in the process of getting 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. The release date we’re aiming for with the paperback is later this year. Pricing for the hard copy will depend on our printing costs and we will try to have some kind of discount available for customers who purchased the digital version. So stay tuned for further announcements on the RP email newsletter!

Second this. I would love an updated version of the book for the recent releases, especially with the upcoming JIT compiler
