What version of Python should I use if I’m a new to Python?
Is it advisable to go with Python 3.1 for a beginner? Or are there any severe drawbacks I would have to consider?
3.1 is much simpler than 2.5 or 2.6, but currently suffers a severe dearth of third-party add-ons, environments supporting it (big apps using it for scripting, etc) and tools such as IDEs. So, much depends on what you want to learn Python for — if just for personal edification, 3.1 is ideal; if it’s to actually build or control applications, websites, etc, then 2.5 or 2.6 will serve you better at the present time (
3.*will no doubt reach and surpass2.*in the future, but, the future is not here yet;-).
