My brother in law is learning python. He's downloaded 3.1 for Windows, and is having a play. It's already confused him that print "hello world" gives a syntax error....
He's an absolute beginner with no programming experience at all. I think he might be following 'Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner", or perhaps some online guides. Should I advise him to stick with 2.6 for a bit, since most of the material out there will be for 2.x? Or since he's learning from scratch, should he jump straight to 3.x In which case what can you recommend for him to work through - I must stress he has absolutely no clue at all about programming, no education beyond 16 yrs old, but is keen to learn.
