[Tutor] Python 2 or 3?

[wolfrage8765 at gmail.com]

Personally. I say 3, because support for external modules is growing every day and only a few major modules remain, like twisted.  But 3 will soon be the standard so start to learn on it now and you will not need to transition latter when 3 replaces 2 as the standard.  I currently use 3 and only miss twisted.

Subject: [Tutor] Python 2 or 3?

Dear Pythoners,
Sorry I am completely new to this but so far as I can see there are two versions of Python, version 2 (which is more established and has much more support) and version 3 which is relatively new.
As a beginner, which of the versions (2 or 3) would it be advisable to start with first?
I suspect version 2, but I would like to hear that from experienced Python users.
Many thanks,
Andy Cooper
