The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Python! - Code Style (docs.python-guide.org)

I'm pretty new to Python and discovered the nicely presented PEP8 coding style guide linked in the post. Stumbling onto The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Python! has been a very helpful compliment to the official Python Documentaion

Hopefully this post will help others getting familiar with Python.

@ericjmorey any guide that even mentions Python 2 is probably outdated and should be met with caution.

Any dev who pretends Python 2 doesn't exist should probably look around a bit more. Damn legacy code.

@deur “When choosing a Python interpreter, one looming question is always present: “Should I choose Python 2 or Python 3”? The answer is a bit more subtle than one might think.”

Sentences like these were outdated 5 years ago, let alone now. The guide is still good for a large part, but outdated in others.
