Trimming the Python Lesson

This post originally appeared on the Software Carpentry website.

We are close to releasing a new version of our standard Python lesson that uses Python 3 instead of Python 2. As soon as that's done, we're going to warm up this discussion about fixing that lesson. One new contribution to that is this post by Byron Smith about how he trimmed the existing lesson. If you have other experiences or comments, please add them to this GitHub issue so that we can make decisions in September about what to include in Version 5.4 in November.
