<div dir="ltr">If you are starting a new project, I'd highly encourage you to use Python 3. It is a stable, well supported, and beautiful language, and gives you the full power of the innovation that is current in the Python world. Python 2 is still well supported (for a while to come), but you won't have the same access to new features and ideas that you would on Python 3.<div>
<br></div><div>The only reason that I'd still be on Python 2 is if I absolutely had to use a library that for some reason is not yet working on Python 3. Even then, I'd work hard to try and write it in Python 3 style Python 2, because I'd want to be on Python 3 as soon as possible.</div>

So I've been working with Python for a while and I'm starting to take<br>
on more and more serious projects with it. I've been reading a lot<br>
about Python 2 vs Python 3 and the community kind of seems split on<br>
which should be used.<br>
<br>
Some say 'Python 3 is the future, use it for everything now' and other<br>
say 'Python 3 is the future but you can't do everything in it now so<br>
use Python 2'.<br>
<br>
What is the general feel of /this/ community? I'm about to start a<br>
large scale Python project. Should it be done in 2 or 3? What are the<br>
benefits, aside from the 'it's the future' argument?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Anthony<br>
