I'm looking for a job in NYC area (or telecommuting).

WARNING! PyBook code does not work right now. Download it only if you want to look at the code. I'll try to fix it when I have time. Thanks, and sorry for the blargh.

PyBook is a Project Gutenberg e-texts reader.

Download pybook-0.8c.tar.gz ~100kb

Run as root: # python setup.py install

Note: some PG files have ^M after each line. You can get rid of them by typing :%s/[hit ctrl-V then ctrl-M]//g[hit enter] and then hit ctrl-O and :w[hit enter]. I'll automate this in the next version.
