All *actual* printed documentation? Which refers to Python 3? Could you give an example here? Otherwise, (if using a Python 2 book), one of the next steps would be "print 'hello world'", and nothing would prevent from the horrible experience that the book is outdated anyway. Sorry, I don't see the problem with "printed documentation". Best regards Ole
