Difference between Python 2 and Python 3?

[OMG its Ali]

I know it might be weired to be posting a thread about Python on this C programming influenced website/forums. But anyways, I'm a 13 year old turning 14 soon, and I'm a noob or a beginner in programming. I've read several articles saying that Python is one of (if not the easiest) programming language to learn as a first language, and I need your help "experienced" programmers on whether I should start with Python 2 or Python 3, basically which one is easier to get used to? I already started to learn basics in Python 2, so I'm personally leaning towards Python 2. But it's never hard to switch (in some cases :P)

*Python programmers please answer.
*Should I learn a different programming language?

I've used both versions. If I had to compare the situation with python 2.x and python 3, and what the difference is, and what that means for programming generally, it's like the difference between C90 and C99. They are different standards of the same language. Both versions have their applications.

For learning though, you have no reason not to learn python 3 first. If you know python 3, in general, you know python 2.x.

Python has two active versions: One you're not supposed to use and one you can't.

Go for Python 2.7.6, i believe it is the most widely used version.

If you know python 3, in general, you know python 2.x.

O_o

As far as it goes, the reverse is also true. You don't learn the "fiddly bits" in either direction, but most of the core facilities--notables like `print' besides--will be familiar.

In any event, I'd recommend Python 2; the support of libraries is more common with Python 2.
