The book is useless for Python users (e.g., statsmodels, Prophet, sktime). While the principles translate, the code examples do not. A Python port does not exist.
Note: While the online version is free, purchasing the physical book or the official PDF is a great way to support the creators who have provided immense value to the data science community.
