Suggestions

Write this program in a step-by-step fashion using the technique of incremental development.

In other words, write a bit of code, test it, make whatever changes you need to get it working, and go on to the next step.

Make a copy of your hw8.py file in your hw9 directory.
Change the name of this file to hw9.py
Remove all the test code from hw9.py
Run the script.
You should see nothing. Fix any problem you find.
Change __init__ by adding the parameter publisher.
Copy the first line of the test code to the bottom of your script.
Run the script.
You should see nothing. Fix any problem you find.
Change __init__ and get_title so the attribute title is hidden.
Copy the 2nd line of the test code to the bottom of your script.
Run the script.
Fix any problem you find.
Change __init__ and get_subtitle so the attribute subtitle is hidden.
Copy the 3rd line of the test code to the bottom of your script.
Run the script.
Fix any problem you find.
Change __init__ and get_author so the attribute author is hidden.
Copy the 4th line of the test code to the bottom of your script.
Run the script.
Fix any problem you find.
Change __init__ so it sets the value of the attribute publisher.
Create the method get_publisher that returns the value of this attribute.
Copy the 5th line of the test code to the bottom of your script.
Run the script.
Fix any problem you find.
Remove the method print_book.
Replace it with the method __str__ which returns a string containing the values of each of the attributes.
Copy the last line of the test code to the bottom of your script.
Run the script.
Fix any problem you find.

Testing on Your Machine

Open IDLE
Use the Open command in IDLE to open hw9.py
Under the Run menu, select Run Module

Your output should look something like this

Guns, Germs, and Steel
The Fates of Human Societies
Jared Diamond
Norton
Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies, Jared Diamond, Norton

Copy the file to Unix

Open FileZilla and connect to pe15.cs.umb.edu
You will have to connect using your Unix username and password.
Go to your 117 directory
Go to your hw directory
Inside this directory create the directory hw9
Copy your hw9.py file from your machine to the hw9 directory on pe15

Make the File Executable

Connect to pe15.cs.umb.edu
Use an ssh client.
Go to your it117 directory
```
cd 117
```
Go to your hw directory
```
cd hw
```
Go to your hw9 directory
```
cd hw9
```
Change the permissions on the script
```
chmod 755 hw9.py
```
