But all of the things that I want to use Python for appear to be 2.x specific. Will I be setting myself up for failure if I continue learning 3 and then try to write programs in 2.x? Note that I am an experienced programmer, albeit in curly-brace languages (Perl, Java, C#, HTML/CSS/JavaScript), so that will probably count in my favor. But y'all would know better than I if there are significant issues that I will need to overcome conceptually.
The main differences are syntactic. If you add these lines to the top of your 2.7 files then you won't have much else to worry about. from __future__ import print_function, unicode_literals, division, absolute_import range, input = xrange, raw_input There may be some other differences but those should take care of the larger ones.
