I'm looking for one updated for 3.2

I got a copy of David Beazley's Essential Reference (4th edition): http://goo.gl/jCU8F
However it's using 2.6 for referencing.

Any ideas?

Thanks guys!

The one I've always used is Dive Into Python. The main one was last updated in 2004, but this one is updated for Python 3:

EDIT: Try looking at the Ubuntu Forums page on learning Python as well, located here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1984319). (source (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=333867))

That's interesting. It looks like it's the second part to the current Python guide I'm following. I'll check it out at my local lib.

If anyone knows of other great material, I would gladly check it out.

Always good to use the official documentation.
