I love this language. I'll never understand it but damn if it isn't perfect. A cold beauty.

I definitely recommend taking a Codecademy python course. I took it last year but because of it I am far quicker at learning concepts in this class.

It is a very lovely and elegant language - I wish I had more opportunity to use it.

I worked through "Learn Python the Hard Way" a while back, and really enjoyed that. At that time there was a lot of turbulence about Python 2 vs Python 3; not sure if that dust has settled yet or not.

It hasn't. And p4 is releasing soon.

they've announced python 4... holy crap, I still haven't converted to 3...

(my post before I heard 4 was going to drop)

If you're just starting, definitely go with 3. It really is superior (enough to count) and you'll be ahead of the curve. It's hard to get out of old python habits.
