But I'd read that Python 3 is very different in many important ways.
I read it right there on the Py3K site!  I can't make sense of how,
why, even what, exactly, but that's not a misimpression on my part, I
certain nonetheless...it's not just cosmetic changes but important
ones pertaining to a sort of "linguistic logic" I gather....

Well, I will be learning Python from the excellent materials available
online, to be sure, but a book that I spend money for, well, I have
"higher standards" for it, you know, one of which is that it doesn't
get superseded so soon!
