    @ericjmorey Why are you copying part of an article you’ve already linked to? I’m not sure what your point is.

    My point is very simple: don’t spend any time on even considering Python 2. The fact the author spent so much time on it shows it’s quite an old guide. (The dates in the git repo confirms this.)

      The resource is about exactly this type of information. It’s not a resource that contains code examples. It has concisely presented information about things that aren’t in the Python documentation or is overly technical and verbose in the documentation. It’s a stepping stone providing context to getting more (and more current) resources.

        @ericjmorey Except it’s outdated. Here, I’ll write a new paragraph for you: “When you start to learn Python, start with Python 3.10. If you at some point come across an codebase using older versions, you’ll have learned enough to get to grips with the differences outlined in Python documentation.” There, that’s all you need to know.
