Section 12.3, Missing pattern match when converting to list. Book
for path in new_dir.glob(".txt"):
print(path)
list(new_dir.glob())
# should be
list(new_dir.glob("*.txt")

Correction
for path in new_dir.glob("*.txt"):
print(path)
JulioPDX on May 4, 2020
Section 12.6, Book states file_path = Path.home() / “temperatures.txt” “This creates a file called temperatures.csv in your home directory”
Should be file_path = Path.home() / “temperatures.csv”

12.6.1.1 Missing passing in the file object to csv.writer
Book
writer = csv.writer()
Should be
writer = csv.writer(file)

Am trying learn more of python and automate with Python and be the best.

Just to get some closure here – all of these issues have been corrected in the release version. Thanks to again everyone who submitted their “early access” feedback here, through the feedback form and links in the book, and Slack!

I thought I was getting a physical book. If the physical book is available, I would like a refund on this purchase and buy the physical book instead.

Sorry about the previous comment. I just got an email about tracking information, so I guess I am getting a physical book.
You must own this product to join the conversation.
Get a Python Cheat Sheet (PDF) and learn the basics of Python, like working with data types, dictionaries, lists, and Python functions:

Where is my Python Basics book pdf? Paid for and downloaded and can’t find it. Been going through several loops ads for the book.
