I am learning Python, and I saw Dive Into Python and it looks cool and all, but it was released in 2004. So, what I am wondering is if Python 2.x has changed enough since 2004 that Dive Into Python has become so obsolete. And are there any more recent online textbooks like that for Python that can get me to become an awesome programmer?

Well, there is Dive Into Python 3...

Dive Into Python 3 covers Python 3 and its differences from Python 2. Compared to Dive Into Python, it’s about 20% revised and 80% new material.

There's a new version of Dive into Python that focuses on 3.x.

No, it is not obsolete. It is still a good resource which can teach you effective python programming.

You might also like to read Dive Into Python 3 by the same author, as he adapts the book for the python3 language.
