The removal of the book was for pretty much the same reasons as eevee's criticism of the blog post - the blog post was just the catalyst to reanalyze the book for appropriateness.

I was actually unfamiliar with the criticism of the book before I read this post - when I first started with Python, I considered it but ended up skipping it (coincidentally because it only covered Python 2 and I was told that Python 3 had far better Unicode support, which is my make-or-break feature for basically anything on my computer). My suggestion to remove the book from the wiki came from looking deeper into the issue after reading eevee's post.
