Greetings,
I've just got 2 python books that are a few years old, they talk about python 2.3. My question is if they would still be useful to learn python?
Or if python 2.3 is really that different from 2.6 are they worthless?

Thank you.

python 2.3 is not that different from 2.6.
But there are a lot of diferences with the newest version 3.1.

Thanks, I just wanted to make sure because the application I use (blender) still uses 2.6.

Python24, Python 25 and Python26 releases each have added a few new functions that Python23 did not have, but the basic functions are all there.

Python3 however did change the language syntax somewhat to modernize the language, enough to be a pain. However, there is a conversion utility you can use to update your existing scripts.
