Comment on Learn Python The Hard Way 2nd Edition Released

Comments

I am doing all of it with Python 3. So far, very little needs changing to make the examples work. Very clean and concise. Thanks Zed.

So this targets an earlier version of Python?

Yes, the 2.x series. I am learning with Python 3 because of a class I am taking and supplementing with Zed's tutorial and just writing the examples in Python 3 format. So far, so good. I might hit a snag when I get to the web.py stuff but I will try to convert that to P3 before using it. All of it rolled together is helping me a lot.

Yes, and for a reason. Python 3 is still not widely adopted [sic].

Python 3 Wall of Shame: http://python3wos.appspot.com/

Stop the "wall of shame" shtick, please. It helps nobody. Projects know about Python 3 and projects are planning to move to Python 3. It isn't trivial and there is no "shame" in it at all.
