I don't suppose there is any introductory material out there that is based on Python 3000 and that is also geared at people with a Perl background? Too early for that I guess..
Honestly, the differences between 2.x and 3.0 are small enough that it doesn't much matter, as long as you're not the kind of person who gets put off by little problems. Because so much material is for 2.x, you may be better off just learning 2.x first and then moving to 3.x.
The main reason I waited until Python 3000 came out is the new way Unicode is handled. The old way seemed really broken to me. Much of what I do when I program consists of juggling Unicode text (real Unicode text with lots of actual characters outside of Latin 1). So in my case learning version 2.x first might not be very convenient. I'd just get bogged down with the strange way 2.x handles such data. I'd rather skip that completely and just go with the Unicode handling in 3.0. -- Bertilo Wennergren <http://bertilow.com> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
