I'm learning Python using version 3.6.
I can buy a used copy of the "Python Cookbook" 2nd edition for $6.00 including shipping. But that's via mail order, so I can't examine the book to see what it's like. The 2nd edition was written for Python 2.4 from what I've read.
QUESTIONS:
1. If you're familiar with the "Python Cookbook" 2nd edition, do you recommend it?
2. Would it be worthwhile to buy the 2nd edition even if I'm using Python 3.6? Will the code be too different from Python 3.6 to be worthwhile? The caveat is that it's either buy the 2nd edition of the Python Cookbook for $6.00 or don't buy it at all. I don't want to spend $42 for a new copy right now.
PS: This is not to learn Python from. I have other books and online tutorials to learn from. This is more for example code which I think is what the book is about.
Advice appreciated.
