A lot has happened since then! I already stopped studying from this book. Now just reading the 3.7 tutorial that came with the install. But I am a beginner... Finding it tough to learn like that. I need like a beginners guide to Python 3.7 sort of book. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

At least now I know there is a Python 2 or 3. I just bought a book and jumped right in without knowing all the facts first. I found a free online course by Guru99 that I am trying out now. I just need some basic knowledge to start of with. And as Andrew Z suggested, its good to have a Pet Project. I will do that as soon as I feel more comfortable with Python. Thanks Louis for the book recommendation. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
