The current recommendation there is just to keep trying, hopefully that will be good enough. Packt's behavior is so demoralizing.

If you want to kick around ideas for improving this feel free to use this list, maybe some of us will awake enough to comment :) More seriously, it might be just as productive to just try something out and see how it works. ___ pydotorg-www mailing list pydotorg-www@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pydotorg-www
