The label of the virtual environment seems incorrect in the example:
It shows: "(venv-3.19) > py -V"
I believe it should show "(venv-3.9) > py -V" as per the command to create the virtual environment:
py -3.9 -m venv venv-3.9

Note from the Author or Editor:
Thank you, fixed. The fix should appear when the next chapter goes to Early Release.

Page Parallel Coverage chapter
Where it shows how to aggregate .coverage reports into a single .coverage file using the command coverage combine

Instead of:
$ py -m run coverage combine

it should be
$ py -m coverage combine

3rd paragraph

The sentence "It also gives you more leeway to shoot yourself into the foot." is wrong

This, I think, is Denglisch. The idiomatic phrase in English is "shoot yourself in the foot", i.e. "in", not "into", so, correct would be:

It also gives you more leeway to shoot yourself in the foot.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Confirmed, thank you!
