The best way to know the status of Python is to stay informed about what's new and to constantly read Python-related resources. The web is full of such resources. The most important and obvious ones were already mentioned earlier, but here they are repeated to keep this list consistent:
- Python documentation
- Python Package Index (PyPI)
- PEP 0 – Index of Python Enhancement Proposals (PEPs)
The other resources, such as books and tutorials, are useful, but often get outdated very fast. What does not get outdated are the resources that are actively curated by the community or released periodically. The few that are worth recommending are as follows:
- Awesome Python (https://github.com/vinta/awesome-python) includes a curated list of popular packages and frameworks.
- r/Python (https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/) is a Python subreddit where you can find news...
