The Case Against Python 3

"I feel like I'm the only one who learned Python from the official site's tutorial page"

From Py1.52 I've done the same.

I wish every language was as well documented (Perl6 is pretty good) [0] as Py, especially the changes b/w versions. Rough order of reading: What's new, Tutorial, PEPs, Library references. Why is it good? It is canonical, pushed out as a release is done, comes with the install (cf: $ pydoc foo) and is free.

Same here.

Python is also rather outstanding in the sense that there are tons of good recordings of PyCon talks that explain almost every language feature in very approachable ways.

The quality of those talks is usually great too, it seems that PyCon consistently hosts very good speakers.
