Python changes

[Craig McRoberts]

First off, greetings from a newbie!

Here's the deal. I gained a passable knowledge of Python nearly ten years ago. Then I decided a career in the computer sciences wasn't for me, and I let it go. Now I find myself back in the development arena, and I'd like to pick up Python again. How much has it changed in my ten years' absence? I've already resigned myself to starting over from the beginning, but are my books from that time period even worth using now?

Thanks so much.
