Week, not an experienced user per se, the more important thing is to just start.
I can say this, the vast majority of online python classes use v2. So, if you have never programmed before, like myself, then 2 is going to be what you will learn. Learning to upgrade later is no big deal and I doubt you will immediately be writing programs that will need to be converted. I learned that there are a few tricks in regards to this 2/3 difference like: # adjust for Python 2 or 3 import sys ....if sys.version[0] >= ’3′: ........getUserInput = input ....else: ........getUserInput = raw_input But theses are only stop-gap measures maybe? It really depends on why you arelearning python i think.
