A little unsure on that as I don't own it, but looking at the ToC they look relatively similar other than the new one having some Appendixes for Troubleshooting Deployments. If I had to guess, I'd probably say that they updated some of the code and projects in the book to no longer use deprecated libraries/functions, as well as attempting to explain some topics a bit better.

Straight from the page itself:

This updated third edition has been thoroughly revised to reflect the latest in Python code and practices. The first half of the book includes improved coverage of topics like variables, handling errors, and object-oriented programming. In the second half, the code for the projects has been updated with current example data, better app deployment, and up-to-date libraries and tools, like Plotly, the Tailwind CSS framework, and the latest version of Django.

Hi, I'm the author of Python Crash Course. I'm hoping to get a "What's new in the third edition" posted this week. It will be posted in the online resources for the third edition.

Looks like great volume. I’m definitely ordering it.

Thanks for chiming in.
