They are almost certainly Python 2.  Python 1 was quickly replaced by
Python 2 in the 1990s.

The differences between 2 and 3 are small enough that the samples are
still useful.  The most significant annoying difference is the print
function, and you can fix that with a text editor.  Occasionally, I'll
have an issue with the change in string type to Unicode, but that's
about it.  The COM stuff still works exactly the same as it did before.
