I have just started, and will likely take a couple of days to finish, but I already like what I've read so far.

I really appreciate this author (Roger Labbe, yes?) as well as all the other authors of these online interactive ebooks or whatever they're called ("interabooks"?) for taking the time to prepare such comprehensive and informative material, purely to help others. Surely, preparing something like this could not have been easy or quick. The other day there was a fantastic one on digital signal processing, and today this.

Really, a big thanks to all you e-authors out there!

If you're one of those authors I too would like to thank you. Also I like to toot my own horn and help you. With some help I built ipy_pep8[1]. It helps iPython Notebook authors to make their code pep8 valid. It has already been used to improve "Probabilistic Programming and Bayesian Methods for Hackers".

Sweet tool; I didn't know about it. I will be running it tonight against my source.
Cool! Please let me know what you think.
Sadly, I'm not one :(. But I do use iPython a lot, and will check out your tool. Thanks for the link!
It's a gteat way to contribute to existing projects ;)
