Python (Programming Language) Book Megapack (757 titles) torrent

Well, here it finally is, the first of many very large torrents. I will probably upload C++ next.

I hope you all appreciate the countless hours I spent collecting these books over the past 10+ years, de-duplicating them (retaining the best versions I had--there were 865 duplicates for Python alone!), and correcting the titles, edition numbers, author surnames, ISBN-10s, and publication dates to the best of my ability. I even made sure all the accent marks were correct on the author surnames. I'm a stickler for preserving the book titles exactly (I even treat "&" and "and" as distinct words), though I do make an effort to make the capitalization consistent; for example, the word "using" should almost always (but not always) be lowercased in a title. I rely on Amazon's messy publication dates when they're available and reasonable. My workflow is semi-automated with a massive Python script, but it is neither user-friendly nor easy to build the database for, so I probably won't be sharing it in its current form.
This time around, I created a separate subdirectory to contain any books that *appeared* to be self-published. Such books:
a) often have covers that look like they were made by a kindergarten student with MS Paint
b) often have ambiguous titles (the titles sometimes ramble, or don't match between the cover and title page, if there even is a title page)
c) often have monolithic blocks of text without any sane formatting
d) often have a 10-character ASIN starting with "B" instead of a proper ISBN
e) often are full of broken English

That being said, a few of the self-published books appear to be of high quality, but most, not so much. You can easily ignore the self-published directory when downloading the torrent to save bandwidth.

Some Python magazine issues actually had ISBNs, so I classified those as "books", but the ones that didn't are in the "Magazines" subdirectory.

Errata:

In the "Drafts" subdirectory there are two copies of one book, Think DSP. The book with the ISBN 1491938455 is erroneous, the ISBN should be 149193848X.
