I'd go with Python 2.6 for learning.

Most tutorials are still either upgrading to v3 or stuck at v2.
Once you are comfortable with 2 you can set a flag on v2.6 that will flag any v3 incompatibilities so that you can fix them and get used to the diffrences before finally moving to v3. And by that time most of the 3rd party tools etc will be ported too!
