Welcome! Thank you for learning Python.

Please be aware that Python 2.7 is a dead end today. It will never get
any new features, and only bug fixes will ever be made. Even that will
stop in a few years.

If you do not have a highly compelling reason to use that old version,
you should not be writing any new code in Python 2.

Instead, get the latest Python 3 for your computer and learn Python that
way.

The Debian package manager will install Python 3 for you, just install
the ‘python3’ package.

Good hunting, and feel free to ask questions as you learn. You will
probably want to join the “tutor” forum for collaborative tutoring
