The following applies to example files from material published by O’Reilly Media, Inc. Content from other publishers may include different rules of usage. Please refer to any additional usage rights explained in the actual example files or refer to the publisher’s website.

O'Reilly books are here to help you get your job done. In general, you may use the code in O'Reilly books in your programs and documentation. You do not need to contact us for permission unless you're reproducing a significant portion of the code. For example, writing a program that uses several chunks of code from our books does not require permission. Answering a question by citing our books and quoting example code does not require permission. On the other hand, selling or distributing a CD-ROM of examples from O'Reilly books does require permission. Incorporating a significant amount of example code from our books into your product's documentation does require permission.

We appreciate, but do not require, attribution. An attribution usually includes the title, author, publisher, and ISBN.

If you think your use of code examples falls outside fair use or the permission given here, feel free to contact us at <permissions@oreilly.com>.

Please note that the examples are not production code and have not been carefully testing. They are provided "as-is" and come with no warranty of any kind.

This directory contains source-code for examples and exercise

solutions from the book Learning Python 2nd Edition.

The examples directory is divided in chapter directories.  Within

each chapter subdirectory, source-code for smaller examples appears

in the "snippets.txt" file (cut and paste to use), and in individual

text files for larger examples.  The contents of the "snippets.txt" 

files are ordered sequentially, according to the order in the chapter;

locate snippets by their relative location in the chapter.

The exercises directory is organized as one subdirectory for each

exercises section in the book, containing one text file for every

numbered exercise solution that has a source-code solution, along

with supplemental python text files.

Note that some of the smaller code snippets, especially short 

interactive commands, have not been included in this distribution,

because it is usually simpler to transcribe these manually, than

to cut and paste from a text file.  However, most interactive 

listings have been included in the snippet.txt files; cut and paste

the commands from these listings (after the >>> prompts), to run.

Also note that these text files were prepared with MS-DOS (Windows) 

line terminator conventions.  If you have trouble viewing these

files on other platforms (e.g., if you see odd characters in your

Linux or Unix text editor), convert them to your platform's text file

format using your usual tools, or the Python converter scripts found

in the tools directory (see the README.txt there for details).  Those

Python scripts are taken from, and described further in, the book 

Programming Python 2nd Edition.
