Python 3000 doesn't include many significant changes to the language. If you learn Python 2.x, almost all of what you learn will be applicable to Python 3.x, if you ever choose to switch to it. Since the Python development team have promised tools for porting code and a Python 2.6 which will be completely backwards compatible with Python 2.5 as well as provide feedback about code which will not be compatible with Python 3.x (<http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=208549>), you'll be able to convert any code you write for Python 2.x into Python 3.x code easily.
