Another, more compelling, reason to follow that advice: Python 2 is in maintenance-only mode and will receive no support at all in a few years. It is a dead end. Python 3 is actively developed and will be supported indefinitely. Beginners today should prefer Python 3 unless they know that they must remain on older versions, and even then should correct whatever is keeping them from moving to the actively-developed language. -- \ “Dvorak users of the world flgkd!” —Kirsten Chevalier, | `\ rec.humor.oracle.d | _o__) | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
