2.6.1, the latest non-3.x release is probably best. Most libraries haven't been ported to 3.x yet, so Python 3 has yet to become widespread.
This seems slightly optimistic to me. Until a week ago, there was not a NumPy release for 2.6. There is still not a SciPy release for 2.6. Most dismaying, the SimpleParse guys need a little help compiling SimpleParse for 2.6 and have not yet gotten that help. (Is anyone listening?) So 2.5.4 is still perhaps the safest bet, even though it is more awkward for writing code close to Python 3 syntax. Alan Isaac -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
