I'm planning on learning Python, and I'd like to know which version to

doesn't have enough libraries yet, so I thought I should learn Python
2.6. Unfortunately, installing Python 2.6 on my Linux distro (Ubuntu
Intrepid Ibex) has given me lots of complicated problems I really
don't want to deal with.
Just learn 2.5. From the beginners point of view, 2.5 and 2.6 are
virtually the same. (If you work hard, you can find differences, but
you did say you were a beginner -- so don't worry about the differences
-- they are minor and evolutionary not revolutionary.)

My essential question is "Is Python 2.6 similar enough to Python 3.0
to justify its complexity of installation?" Upgrading to Jaunty is NOT
an option
