If you are starting a new project, I'd highly encourage you to use Python 3. It is a stable, well supported, and beautiful language, and gives you the full power of the innovation that is current in the Python world. Python 2 is still well supported (for a while to come), but you won't have the same access to new features and ideas that you would on Python 3.
The only reason that I'd still be on Python 2 is if I absolutely had to use a library that for some reason is not yet working on Python 3. Even then, I'd work hard to try and write it in Python 3 style Python 2, because I'd want to be on Python 3 as soon as possible.
