No. Just change the name of the book to "Learn Programming The Hard Way (Python Edition)". By putting the language in the title it sounds like it is for an experience programmer learning a new language, not for learning how to program.
True. When I started a major in CS, I had no programming experience. I started "Learn Python the Hard Way", but when I found out that I needed to learn C for Compilers, I tried to switch to "Learn C the Hard Way", thinking the two books were equivalent. They weren't.
