The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Python! - Code Style (docs.python-guide.org)

I'm pretty new to Python and discovered the nicely presented PEP8 coding style guide linked in the post. Stumbling onto The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Python! has been a very helpful compliment to the official Python Documentaion

Hopefully this post will help others getting familiar with Python.

@jeremyparker As for myself: I use Python as a scientist on an almost daily basis. I've never learned anything about Python 2, have never touched it and never required it. Maybe if you work in a field with tons of legacy code it's useful, but I and all my colleagues are working with Python 3.7 or newer (mostly 3.10 and newer) only. There is no single argument you could make that would convince me I or any of my colleagues should know *anything* about Python 2.
