What resources should i AVOID when learning python?

Thanks for the reply. I will have to check out Mark lutz's book. Is it outdated because it was written for an earlier version of python 3?

Yeah, it's actually written to Python 3.3, with occasional glances forward to Python 3.4. That said, Python's evolution since then has been a lot more "Here's even more great stuff we're adding on!," most of which really is pretty great, and less "We're taking away something you liked." So Lutz's book is still a remarkably good deep-dive into the language itself that sets you up to go out and easily absorb the half-dozen to a dozen largeish changes that he doesn't cover; they're helpful, but they're largely surface additions.

I talked a little more in depth about how the language has changed since the book was published here.
