| Other Digital Version | 2.1 Video segment "2.1 Back to the Basics: Names" at about 3 minutes and 25 seconds, line "IN [18]" |
There is an error in video segment "2.1 Back to the Basics: Names" at about 3 minutes and 25 seconds where the instructor talks about line "IN [18]" as though it reads "a == b", checking for equality between a and b, instead of how it reads "id(a) == id(b)" which is checking that their ids are equal. |

In the video segment "5.2 Exercises: Functions" at about 1 minute 30 seconds at line "In [55]" the exercises and demo switch from calling f2 back to calling f without calling attention to that, which may be confusing if you don't notice it. |

| Other Digital Version | 6.1 Video segment "6.1 Decorators Simplified" at line "In [6]" |
In section "6.1 Decorators Simplified" the trace function at line "In [6]" has a small mistake so it only prints the first argument passed to the function. The print statement should be this: print('Called {}{!r}'.format(f, args)) |

| Other Digital Version | 6.1 Video segment "6.1 Decorators Simplified" at line "In [21]" |
In section "6.1 Decorators Simplified" the memoize function at line "In [21]" at about 8 minutes in would be a bit more clear without the parentheses in the format, i.e. like this instead: print('Called memoized_f{!r}'.format(args)) |
