Python3 compatibility How to Do Things with Words.ipynb

[pathcl]

Hello,

I'm trying to use 'How to Do Things with Words' notebook but...

---

NameError Traceback (most recent call last)
in ()
----> 1 TEXT = file('big.txt').read()
2 len(TEXT)

NameError: name 'file' is not defined

• I think this should be replaced to use open() instead of file().

• I was able to use 'big.txt' downloading from https://norvig.com/big.txt .Not sure if its the same.

I'll upload a PR to make it py3 compatible.

Good catch. Probably best to put 'big.txt', and any other such files, in the data directory (under, say, a /text subdirectory).

You will find attached the zipped python 3 code (including links to related stackoverflow pages and the actualized link for the Turing Picture).

Thank you Peter Norvig for this (2.6) very nice code !
