I must disagree with Colin's statement. If you are a complete beginner 
with Python... then there is going to a learning curve for you... and 
that curve should be 3.2---  period.

It is true that some modules are not ready for 3.x, and it is also true 
that many installed systems (probably most) do not have 3.x installed.

But that is not the point. The point is that 3.x is completely 
incompatible with 2.x (some call it a dialect, but that is a lie). 
Python3 is the future of the language, and if you're new to Python, then 
learn 3.x, move forward and don't look back... seriously.
