Thanks very much. I appreciate your time.

Not a problem, off topic do you know of any good description/instructions for getting Serial Comms working in Python?

Unfortunately, I do not. Is this something for RaspberryPi by chance?
|
|
|
|
|
Well at present No, just trying to add to my armoury. Raspberry-Pi is a little low on my list at the moment (but still there!)...
|
|
|
|
|
I was just curious, because I do have a RPi rev b and it's very nice.
While writing the book I wanted to see if he Python programs would run on the RPi and they did with no changes at all. Just copy them over and run. Amazing really since I'm on a Windows machine.
|
|
|
|
|
The RPi does seem a bullet proof little sucker, I have fiddled with a lot of Single Board Computers but the RPi seems to the easiest to use...

Wow, great value for price! 
THESE PEOPLE REALLY BOTHER ME!! How can they know what you should do without knowing what you want done?!?!

Thanks. I tried to figure out how to make the book cheaper, but couldn't. I guess I could've slipped bitcoin between the digital pages.

Wow, I never would've known or suspected they do that to a customer.
Thanks for documenting that and for sticking with it and getting my book.
It's quite interesting and quite terrible they do that.
Technology is so [wonderful/terrible]. Wonderful when done right and abusive when it's not.

Do you cover Python 2.x or 3.x?
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks for asking, I cover 2.7.8 in this book. Wanted to keep it with the older version, but everything in there should run as is with 3.x since they are simple examples.
|
|
|
|
|
Great. For all the hype, I don't know anyone who actually uses 3.x
|
|
|
|
|
I appreciate that input, because I got the same feeling as I researched which one to concentrate on for the book. It seems that most Universities still focus on 2.x also -- of course you never know because they always seem to be behind the technology curve.

Nice! I snagged it using the Kindle for PC app, and the book looks great!
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Thanks for the encouraging comment. I really appreciate it.
Thanks for trying out my book too.

Thanks. I could use this for some stuff I do on linux and maybe some scripting that is supported on some of the medical imaging toolkits I use daily. It will be some time before I read this however. I am swamped at the moment.

Got it on my Droid. I'll have a look. 
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.
|

Won't let me get it or read it online.
Even with the kindle for pc app.
Edit:
As it turns out I did not have the reader registered with my account so could not get the download.

Thanks for letting me know how this worked out. I appreciate your time downloading and reading.
|
|
|
|
|
I can't download and read it because I'm not going to associate this program with my account.
To bad there was not a pdf version.
Thanks for writing it though.
|

|
|
I understand, but thanks for taking a look at it.

I appreciate that you have made this available at no charge and I will try to read more of it. However, I find the first two chapters seem to spend a lot of time on issues that really belong in the appendices. Explaining how to download and install Notepad+ doesn't really have much to do with learning Python.

Point taken. Thanks for reading and thanks for feedback.
