Heinrich Schnermann <pythonbug at schnermann.net> added the comment:
I would not insist of starting with 1 instead of 0 (I follow your arguments here), but perhaps it would be nice if it would behave the same way in both chapters. The first fibonacci number examples in https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/introduction.html#first-steps-towards-programming start with 1.
There are three examples here, in the first,
while b < 10:
print(b)
should change to
while a < 10:
print(a)
The output of this first example would have an additional 0:
0
1
1
...
And in the third example
while b < 1000:
print(b, end=',')
should change to
while a < 1000:
print(a, end=',')
where the output of this third example would change from
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,377,610,987,
to
0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,377,610,987,
