Well, some people say you're better off learning version 2 for now,
since a lot of code out there is still for that version. The
differences aren't really that earth-shocking though, especially once
you get fluent in the language.

I'd say go with 3.x and learn that. You shouldn't have a big problem
reading 2.x code, and writing it will become easier the more you
learn. And 3.x really is the future of python
