To get the most out of this book
The code examples in this book assume that you are running the latest long-term support (LTS) release. As of the time of writing, that is Sanic v21.12. We assume that you have a modern installation of Python available. While most of the examples will work fine in Python 3.7, to be able to run all of the code, you will need at least Python 3.8.
You are highly encouraged to follow along and run the code examples in this book. In addition, there are additional patterns and snippets that will only be available in the GitHub repository (see the next section for the link). You are highly encouraged to review these as well.
If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code from the book's GitHub repository (a link is available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
The project is fast-moving and adopts new patterns all the time. Where possible, the GitHub repo will be kept up to date. If you encounter any problems while following the examples, you are encouraged to seek help at https://sanic.dev/help.
