MicroPython or CircuitPython have become better entry points than the full language.
Python grew up and has been chosen to solve a lot of complex, important problems. This has lead to the language ballooning to become not just good but excellent for those problems (data science). Some of it might be fluff; much of it might not be relevant to your style or problem space.

- TheOtherHobbes 4y agoI'm one of those people who worry that Python - which used to be pretty accessible - is heading in the same direction as C++, and will be buried under archaeological layers of cruft and obscurity. 2.x and 3.x seem to be diverging philosophically, and I'm not convinced that's a good thing.
