I found two “duplicate” questions, but considering they’re about two years old, I figured it might be a good idea to see a more recent opinion.
I want to learn Python, but I don’t know if I should start with Python 3 because it’s newer, or if I should start with Python 2?
I come from a C#, Java, PHP, and HTML/CSS background. So I know the general specifics of programming. I’d like to add yet-another-programming-language to that list as a fun exercise and learning experience.
There are few differences, but they are quite significant (strings vs bytes mostly).
If you wish to mess around, go for Python 3. If you wish to get something done, use Python 2.(7). There are few libraries that currently support Py3.
