Errata

This is an incomplete list of errata that I found in the original version (5.4) when I studied this book:

Note

This list corresponds to the Dive Into Python version: 5.4

Regular Expression

  • Actually M could be repeated up to four times in Roman numerals. This is an exception. (p83)
  • Pattern in Example 7.3 Checking for Thousands should be ^M?M?M?M?$ instead of ^M?M?M?$
  • Typo in Example 7.7 - (1) 1940 should be MCMXL, not MCML. (p87)
  • Dead link to the Regular Expression HOWTO. (p93)
