Exploring Python by Writing my First Text RPG

The reasoning it gives is "When all the Python code on your computer is Python 3, then I’ll try to learn it.".

My guess is the book you are using is not that recent, perhaps when Python 3 was first introduced. The reasoning was that many of the 3rd party library's had not yet converted from v2 to v3. In my opinion, that was and still is, bad advice for new users, as new users are more apt to use the builtins than third party mod's. Now, most library's have made the transition fro v2 to v3 or are simply being created as v3 so the argument no longer has any merit.  Though I can't force you to use v3, I still strongly urge you to do so.

Btw, the book you are using wouldn't happen to be "Learning Python The Hard Way" would it?
