[Edu-sig] Python 3.0 Textbook and Labs

[Mark Goadrich]

Last year in my CS1 course where I teach Python, I used a modified
version of Allen Downey's "How to Think Like a (Python) Programmer"
open source text. I restructured and edited the text to fit my
pedagogical needs, and it was well received by my students (especially
the "free PDF textbook" part).

This summer I have converted the text and examples to be in line with
the Python 3.0 changes, and thought other people on this list might be
interested. I've tried to be thorough, but I'm sure I've missed some
things, and will continue to update the text as the fall semester
progresses.

The PDF can be found at

with the LaTeX source files at

and my associated labs, approximately one for each chapter

Hope you find them useful,

Mark
