All *actual* printed documentation? Which refers to Python 3? Could you
give an example here?

Otherwise, (if using a Python 2 book), one of the next steps would be
"print 'hello world'", and nothing would prevent from the horrible
experience that the book is outdated anyway.

Sorry, I don't see the problem with "printed documentation".

Best regards
