I'm starting to learn Python so I'm super interested in this. However for me the PDF is blurry? I tried in Chrome/IE/Acrobat and the text is blurry for me, anyone else have this problem??
Nice book. The simplicity of the build system for epub is impressive: https://github.com/joaoventura/full-speed-python/blob/master...
I discovered Pandoc in the past few months thanks to a post on HN, and I've been going out of my way to involve it in my projects because it's so fascinating to me.

I've just confirmed on a virtualbox installation of windows 7 and it is working fine on Acrobat Reader. It may be a crazy suggestion, but can you reset your computer? I've also made available an epub, so maybe you can use it instead of the pdf..

epub works great. No issues. I got alot of PDF's i donno why only this one displays weird. :( if no one else has this issue must just be my work pc being bung.
* create sub-headings, for ex: 'Basic datatypes' chapter, create numbers/strings/lists as sub-headings...
* loop iteration - as you are anyway showing how to use 'enumerate', I'd suggest to not show 'range(len(mylist))'
* lots of ' Finally', might want to remove some or rework those sentences

I would like to convey the idea that this is a fast way for people to learn the basic concepts of python. But I'm not sure that "up to speed with X" exists, as I cant find many ocurrences of it in google (i'm not a english native speaker, this is the technique i use to find how certain expressions are used in english).
Could someone suggest which title sounds better: "at full speed with python" vs "up to speed with python"?

Sorry for the Portuguese translation foreigners. But since I noticed you are from Setubal, Portugal.
"At full speed with python" -> "Chegar á velocidade máxima com Python."
"Up to speed with python" -> "Chega a velocidade desejada com Python."

"Getting up to Speed with Python" is what you are after. "Up to speed" implies that the reader is already "there", hence, the book will be targeting readers that already have considerable knowledge and skill with Python. Clearly, your statement, "I would like to convey... that this is a fast way... to learn the basic concepts...", you are targeting those with minimal skills and experience. Therefore, they will be "ge…
(Changed the book title to match..)
Cannot change anymore the title or the link on HN though..
