One item in my do list is to learn Python, one goal being to use Python to customize calibre. From the doc: "calibre is not compatible with Python 3 and requires at least Python 2.7".

I am looking for a book on Python for programming beginners and so far, everything I found is based on 3.X. Obviously, Learning Python represents a significative effort for me. So ...

Are there any plans to port calibre to Python 3?
If yes, when is it expected? I can wait.
If no, at least in the short term. What book (or other material) on Python 2.7 for programming beginners do you recommend me?

Thanks
