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. :-(

Replying to @zopatista @zedshaw
Ah, more things I don't know. Point taken. I encountered Zed before his books became so widely known and don't have a viscerally negative reaction like many others do.

I fear that Zed hasn’t helped matters in that regard. Here on Twitter he hasn’t always reacted to criticism of his work in a constructive manner, shall we say.

You mean the criticism that Stack Overflow invented only for my book, only after I criticized Python 3? Soooooooo you can't take me criticizing Python 3 and have done nothing to change it but I'm supposed to change my book? Even when the SO critiques are wrong?
