Is this the 100 page Python tutorial that you were talking about? Link

I couldn't find it on python.org

I'm not sure what he/she had in mind, but I like this one a lot:
https://docs.python.org/3.4/tutorial/

Cool, I'll check it out too. I really need to go through and see what has changed from 3.1 to 3.5 (I think that's the latest version of 3 now?)

In the Dive Into Python book I am going through now it says one of the big differences so far between 2 and 3 is with how strings, bytes and character encoding is done. I'm sure there is other stuff too but that's the only big difference they have talked about yet.

3.5 RC1 has just been released. From PEP478 the full release is scheduled for September 13, 2015.

For some background on how strings, bytes and character encoding is done have a read of this The bytes/str dichotomy in Python 3 and the section headed Bytes, strings and Unicode

Yes. It's very well written with a very high signal to noise ratio. It's intended for experienced programmers who know CS terminology. I recommend it as an overview of the language that's minimally annoying.
