My 2 cents: I learned python 2 in 2015 or so because I was recommended "Learn python the hard way", whose author defended python2 with a passion. So I started with python 2 and found the book crap. The author's idea of teaching is telling others to repeat an exercise a hundred times with all possible variations. There were more than a dozen about printing stuff to a terminal, before you got into any interesting stuff. From their website, although they added a new course and book for python 3, they are still selling the ones for python 2. Still selling stuff for a version killed 3 years ago requires some fucking audacity. Later I learned python 3 from other source and loved it. It's what I mostly program with today.
