BTW, just to clarify this statement: I don't object to there being
courses for 2.x that don't touch 3.x (though I'd still use this as a
strong criterion in choosing a course); the bit I object to is the
vague FUD about "avoiding" 3.x, as though that branch isn't stable
yet. If it simply said "For Google's Python Class, you want a Python
version between 2.4 and 2.7.x", that'd be much better.
