Version 2.7 is a good choice, and it will be around for a long time: it will be supported until at least 2020, so you should get many years of use from it. Do not be discouraged about Python 3. There are differences, but they aren't so different as to be a major barrier. By the time you have a bit of experience with 2.7, you will be more than capable of dealing with the differences with version 3. They are not different languages, think of them as slightly different dialects of the same language, like UK and South African English. -- Steven D'Aprano http://import-that.dreamwidth.org/ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
