Today at lunch a colleague asked me about Python, and my knee-jerk response was: "Oh, you should check out Learn Python the Hard Way" -my favourite. Now I see there is a brouhaha or so about the Python 3 stance by @zedshaw . I have been a bit out of the loop on this one. :-(

It isn’t just the stance in Python 3. The book has many, many other flaws; the Stack Overflow Python regulars have collected a list: https://sopython.com/wiki/LPTHW_Complaints …. Personally, I recommend Think Python, 2nd ed: https://greenteapress.com/wp/think-python-2e/ …

It would be interesting to see how much of that list still applies to "Learn python 3 the hard way".

Given that most of that list is opinions that didn't really apply to the Py2 book (and also flat wrong), I'd say not much.
