You could buy a more current book that covers Python 3 :)

E.g. http://www.apress.com/9781430216322

(This is not a recommendation, just the first one I
stumbled across.)

But honestly, there aren't that many differences between
Python 2 and 3. print is the main one. There are a few
others, but they are mostly advanced functionality.

In my opinion, with a little bit of care and attention to
detail, if you are prepared to check the notes in the Fine
Manual and if necessarily ask for help here, you can learn
Python 3 from a Python 2 book. It won't be *as* convenient,
of course, but it will be doable.
