Hi, there's already a PDF version. It's linked on the main page of the Anti-Pattern book: https://docs.quantifiedcode.com/python-anti-patterns/latex/The-Little-Book-of-Python-Anti-Patterns-1.0.pdf

Thanks

Apologies for the "me too" but is there a single downloadable, readable version for all chapters in this book?

Edit: There is link to prebuilt PDF in README, this comment is obsoleted.

You can build it yourself, all the required files are available here. I managed to build a PDF on Arch. If you use Arch you can use my PKGBUILD at the end of this comment. I don't use Windows anymore so I don't know how to do this on Windows. Other distros please follow the instructions below.

1. Install the dependencies, on Arch they are python-sphinx, texlive-core, texlive-latexextra, check your distro repo for corresponding packages.
2. Download/Clone this book repo and cd to docs directory.
3. Run make latex (don't run make latexpdf as it reports some strange errors).
4. Run cp logo_qc.png _build/html/python-anti-patterns/latex to copy the logo to latex directory. I don't know why it is missing in the first place, but for now to make it work just copy it manually.
5. Run make -C _build/html/python-anti-patterns/latex to build the PDF.
6. When it finishes, run cp _build/html/python-anti-patterns/latex/*.pdf . to copy the result back to docs directory.

(For Arch only) And here is the PKGBUILD, create an empty directory and put it inside, then run makepkg -s in that directory, done. All the steps above are done automatically.
