Is it advisable to go with Python 3.1 for a beginner?
What version of Python should I use if I’m a new to Python?
Haven’t really made anything in Python… Which Python should I take ahold of? 2.X or 3.X?
2.Xstill offers a far wider variety of third-party libraries / frameworks, instructional websites and books, and experts to help you out — I expect this will continue for a few years until3.Xgradually overtakes it. Right now, therefore, I would still recommend2.Xdespite3.x‘s even-greater “clean-ness” and simplicity (because some cruft which 2.x has to keen around for backwards compatibility was finally wiped out in 3.x). Very few new features of 3.x are not backported in 2.x, by the way — e..g, if you wantprintto be a function, like in 3.x, in your 2.6 or 2.7 module, just put, at the start of the module, the statement“Importing from the future” is a typical Python way to make new features available when explicitly requested, without breaking backwards compatibility.
