He still doesn't seem to be a fan of Python 3. Not sure if it's a good idea to write a book about a language that you don't like..
It seems like he does not like programming in general:

This has been my biggest problem with suggesting LPTHW to people. Not just that it was Python2 oriented, but that it was explicitly opposed to Python3.

I'm glad they're finally moving on to Python3.
