The footnote is funny,

"""

This site is optimized for Lynx just because fuck you.

I’m told it also looks good in graphical browsers.

Yeh, it confused me too.

One day, I asked diveintomark on twitter:

  Why there's an unpleasant 'fuck you'?

and get the reply from Mark: http://twitter.com/diveintomark/statuses/1914075749

Now I'm just wondering, has Mark been greatly annoyed by the Internet Censorship?

That's a really funny reply. I suggest Mark try "^__^ fuck you ^__^"

Yes! Now, only the small matter that more than 9/10 modules will break under python 3, but hey, at least now we have a finished Dive Into Python 3!

Nothing is stopping you from using Python 2.x. Writing a new version of a language is never intended to be backwards compatible. Indeed, breaking backwards compatibility is essentially a perquisite because a new version is the opportunity to add all the useful features that couldn't be added before.
