>> Why the recommendation for Learn Python 3 The Hard Way?

Specifically because even Zed Shaw - probably the most vocal and longest time objector to Python3 has moved on from recommending against Python 3. Thus now that he supports Python 3 then I think he should be supported - history is past.

Everyone with a significant industry presence has moved on from recommending against Python 3 - except Google.

Do you have any source confirming that Google is recommending Python 2 as of 2018? Because e.g. the current installation instructions for Tensorflow recommend Python 3.5 or 3.6: https://www.tensorflow.org/install/install_windows

The linked class in about Python 2. But maybe it was just not updated recently.
