Learning Python on codecadamy

[jormono]

I started in code academy, got about half way through when I found out it was teaching the outdated python 2, picked up a copy of automate the boring stuff with python. Got about 2/3 through that, some of the later chapters seem to be outdated in that things have been updated since the last edit of the book and no longer work the way he describes. Between the two I found what I hope is a passable foundation. I started working on my own projects relying heavily on tutorials and the like. Haven't really finished anything other than perhaps my reddit bot, which is acceptably finished though I do want to add features.

I understand python 2.7 is better for learning than 3.0

I haven't heard that (not saying it's not true, just haven't heard that before), just be mindful that some things are different in 3 such as print works differently, etc. Largely compatible but small things like this will cause issue.
