Learning python with LPTHW

[snippsat]

What's bad about Learn Python the Hard Way? What other tutorials would you suggest instead?

The strictness of avoiding Python 3 at all cost is to me utterly ridiculous.
Even newer stuff that work in Python 2.6--> like new string formatting,he want use.
All over the book is the weird(for beginner) formatting codes for %-style formatting.
Not gone mention more,it's a list here :shh:

I recommend Thinks CS, personally, and (non-free) Beginning Python by Magnus Lie Hetland (Apress). The former is good because it has exercises for each chapter, and the latter is good because there are whole chapters on projects. I think the two together are pretty good.

yes agree.
It's a lot mixed stuff out there,we have list here.
