Which version of python I should use if I just start programming in python?

    So would I.  But the infrastructure isn't there yet.  Realistically,
2.5 is the "production stable" version of CPython.  Almost all important
modules work with CPython 2.5.  Some work with 2.6.  3.x support remains
spotty.  Give it a year.  Or two.

    I've tried using 3.1, but had to back down.
