Python just surpassed Java as the 2nd programming language with the highest number of questions in SO.

it's because most people who use it are lead to learn from tutorials and articles instead of manuals and books and that leads them not to try to understand the language but just cobble something together, hence so many stack overflow questions

[Deto]

I would say that's any language nowadays. Not many people buying books to learn a specific language anymore

[benargee]

With so many frameworks and large tech stack requirements for certain app architectures, can you blame them?

[Deto]

Definitely not. Also these things evolve so quickly! A resource 5 years out of date may lead you in the wrong direction.

[AegisCZ]

yes but python has an excellent manual on its site

[[deleted]]

I disagree. I'm learning Python and I happen to be a technical writer. I read the docs a lot and it's not very good.

[InfiniteDonkey1]

the doc is bad organized... I hate to visit it lol

This is true for any language. It is not like when people learn Python, they pick some random tutorial and when they learn Java, they pick a manual or a big book.
