I just put up the 1.0 version of Learn Python The Hard Way after a large number of edits, some revisions, and a lot of cleaning up the prose. There are probably a few errors here and there still, but it should be fairly tight.

If you get a chance, grab the PDF and give it a quick read through. Report any bugs you find as a ticket and I'll fix them up.

Tomorrow I will get the book all prepared for lulu.com and then people can start getting dead tree versions. I'm going with simple cover art, black and white, and 8.5x11 format so it's easy to read while you work through it.

The book will be available for my Nov 9th class Introduction To Programming In Python (Part A) over at codelesson.com. You'll hopefully be able to buy a paper copy of the book by the time the class starts, assuming I haven't screwed up and taken too long editing it. Otherwise the PDF will still be free to download and work through. It'll definitely be ready by Part B of the class.

If you're interested in taking the class then go hit the course page and sign up. It'll be a four week course and entirely online.

Finally, there was a woman who drew an awesome joke graph of her experience while she was going through the book, but I've completely lost her email. If you're out there, email me, I want to include your graph in my book.
