Using Python 3 to learn Python! :-)

Seriously, You would be better downgrading to Python 2.6 
to learn because v3 has introduced several new concepts 
(not just print() ) that are not covered in most tutorials.  
Once you understand Python 2.6 you will be in a better 
position to understamd v3s new features, and probably 
by then most tutorials will have caught up.
