Just out of curiosity does this repository also cover the Python version of this text? My question is are there any significant differences between the R and Python versions of the text beside the code?

@compleat I have created a PR to add Dev Containers to your repository: [Add Dev Container Configuration Files by benz0li · Pull Request #2 · compleathorseplayer/ISLR-labs-in-Julia · GitHub](https://github.com/compleathorseplayer/ISLR-labs-in-Julia/pull/2)

Similar to what I have done for @bkamins’ [Julia for Data Analysis](https://github.com/bkamins/JuliaForDataAnalysis).

@compleat To get a reproducible Project setup, you should add a project-specific environment.

Hi Olivier,

Thanks. I may do something about this. My intention was to supply files which may help, not to provide support.

I suggest stating this in the `README.md` file, then.

@compleat If you no longer intend to provide updates, fix [issues](https://github.com/compleathorseplayer/ISLR-labs-in-Julia/issues) or merge [PRs](https://github.com/compleathorseplayer/ISLR-labs-in-Julia/pulls): Archive the repository.

It will then state `This repository was archived by the owner on <Month> <DD>, <YYYY>. It is now read-only.`

Hi Olivier,

I have an idea. I will see if Claude Code can maintain this for me.
