Full Circle Magazine (FCM) started a Python tutorial series in issue #27. It would be nice to extract these tutorials from the issues and put them together in a single PDF. Thus, we would have all the tutorials together in one document.

Usage:

./01-get-issues.sh

Download the necessary FCM issues. Issue #28 has a different name, the script will rename it.

./01b-get-latest-issue.sh

It'll only download the latest issue.

./02-extract.py python.csv

The file python.csv specifies which pages to extract from the issues. You can write your own series.csv file (ex.: gimp.csv) to extract a different series.

./03-combine-pieces.py python.csv

Combine the pieces together in a single PDF. Location of the result: python/result/all.pdf. If you combine the pieces with Adobe Acrobat Pro, the size of the resulting file will be very small. Pdftk produces a much larger file.

ebook_edition/fetch.py

Fetch e-book edition issues in .epub format.
