Python 2 is what some people are stuck with because their projects depend on huge libraries that have not yet made all their code compatible with Python 3 (or on libraries that are not actively maintained or are being replaced by something else). All new code and new Python users should be using Python 3 unless there is a pressing need for a library that requires Python 2. Most popular libraries at this point have either been made compatible or have been replaced by something that supports Python 3. Python 3 is no longer the shiny new thing to look at in the future - 3.0 was released in December 2008.
