Going to spend this whole August, studying Python.

Any tips or suggested route to get the grasp of Python? Should i start at 2.7 then 3 or just go directly to Python 3?

    2.7 is getting deprecated, absolutely no point in picking up obsolete knowledge. Start with 3.5 or above.

    I would prefer that you start with 3.6.

    As someone who's addicted to py2, I wish I learned 3 from the start. Definitely learn 3.

    Python 3.6 has optional static type checking, I suggest checking that out.

    Example:
    def x() -> int:
    return 0

    @demiko I do for a couple of personal projects, not for older stuff and work seems determined to stick with 2.7 but as I'm a c++ dev at heart I think they're great 🙃

    Version 2 is history. So why we would prefer that. Python 2 has no advantage against 3

    The version divide was really Python's most obnoxious downside, glad to hear it's finally moving forward.

    @alwaysmpe Damn, now all I want from Python is concurrency as elegant as in Go...

    Java developer for 8 years and moved to python, I had lots of bad python practices. Pep8 was a nice helper
