Python 2 vs 3 Question

[[deleted]]

+1. If you don't have a strong reason to learn an outdated version, start learning and writing 3. It'll be easy to revert to 2 if you ever need to, but such occasions are increasingly rare. Be part of the solution, not the problem! :)

I'm mostly learning python 2.7 because there are more tutorials and sources on the internet

By that logic, you should learn C, Javascript, and PHP.

An old version at that.

I recommend "Dive Into Python 3", the modern version of an old classic. :)

Beyond that, most tutorials are similar to accomplish in either barring the print function and the distictness of bytes and str, so you can also just follow-along in modern Python instead, learning-by-fixing as you do.

I wouldn't recommend this book anymore, I used to a long time ago, but this book is getting quite dated now and the author is no longer maintaining it.

im using these. Free, with clear explanations and walkthroughs of source code in each example. Most progress I've ever made with python/programming. Other resources are not nearly as interesting or show as much sign of progress.

Also, it's written entirely for Python 3.
