I still use python 2 because I'm not the best programmer and most stack overflow answers are python 2 based (although more and more are for both now-a-days). I wouldn't be opposed to using python 3, but see no real reason to do so.
- odonnellryan 11y agoThat's valid, but I don't think there are many questions that don't apply to both languages. I'd bet most times you will just have to change range() and print(). The difference in the two versions isn't too extreme!
- takeda 11y agoMan I hate this argument so much. People make it look like those are two completely different languages, even though there are actually very minor differences. You'll realize it once you'll start using python 3. Also py3 is much easier to master for a novice because it is much more consistent and no longer has some special cases. For example if you're dividing a number you no longer need to convert one variable to be float in order to get a decimal. There is no int and long types, just int etc.
