My 'A Beginners Guide to Python 3 Programming - John Hunt, 1sr ed. 2019 - 978-3-030-20290-3.epub' is 27.2 MB and my 'A Beginners Guide to Python 3 Programming - John Hunt, 1sr ed. 2019 - 978-3-030-20290-3.pdf' is 30.5 MB. I'm not sure what happened to your download, but I'd be willing to share also if you can't resolve the issue. On Fri, 2020-05-01 at 23:17 -0500, eminmn wrote: > Thanks for this.
