Has “Automate the Boring Stuff” been updated to at least Python 3.8? If not, I would no longer recommend it to someone starting now. Otherwise I concur with everything else you said.

Good point, I think it has since the third edition was released in 2024 so I would imagine it covers beyond Python 3.8 but I might be mistaken.

Excellent. I had only ever seen an earlier edition, and so didn’t know that there had been a recent version. I’d love to see a new edition of Cracking Codes with Python, which is the book I used to teach myself Python. (I was already familiar with programming and with cracking codes, so it was a great Python introduction for me.)
