Code examples from the book, Python 101 2nd Edition by Michael Driscoll.

You can get early access to the book on Leanpub as well as all updates as they come out. The book will be finished by September 2020.

The first dozen or so chapters will have Jupyter Notebooks rather than simple code examples. You can run the examples in your browser by using this link: . Then navigate to each chapter and open the Jupyter Notebook.

Alternatively, you can download the code (or clone it with Git) and use Jupyter on your own machine. Once you have gotten the code / notebooks from this repo, you will need to install Jupyter. Once installed, you should open up a terminal (or cmd.exe on Windows) and navigate to the folder where your save the code to. Then run jupyter notebook in your terminal.

"image viewer working" not working

Hi,
When I try open image file (.jpg) I had this message :
line 42, in on_browse
self.photo_txt.SetValue(dialog.GetPath())
wx._core.wxAssertionError: C++ assertion ""!HasFlag(wxFD_MULTIPLE)"" failed at C:\PROJECTS\bb2\dist-win64-py310\build\ext\wxWidgets\include\wx/filedlg.h(111) in wxFileDialogBase::GetPath(): When using wxFD_MULTIPLE, must call GetPaths() instead
so I changed dialog.GetPath() by dialog.GetPaths()
ut then I had this message :
line 42, in on_browse
self.photo_txt.SetValue(dialog.GetPaths())
TypeError: TextEntry.SetValue(): argument 1 has unexpected type 'list'

Python : Python 3.10
OS : Windows 10 21H1 build 19043.1766
wxPython : 4.2.0a1.dev5445+edf1cf07 => I installed wxPython with pip install -U --pre -f https://wxpython.org/Phoenix/snapshot-builds wxPython since classic installation does not work on my version of windows 10

changing the element searched in scrapper.py

Hello,

I was working on scrapper.py in chapter 35 and it wasn't printing anything out. I realized that none of the h1 elements in your blog have any href.
I changed it to h2 and the script printed out a result. I thought I should inform you.

Errata?

Is there an errata for Python 101 2nd Edition?
