I found all the Python books available dealt with version 2.x, so
eventually I installed that for the purpose of learning Python. 

It's much easier, and you don't have to spend hours searching online
for differences between 3.x and 2.x just to find what caused an error
in an example script. 

Once you've l;earnt it, then you can start learning the differences,
and maybe by that time there will be a book that deals with 3.x, but
until there is, it's just not worth the hassle unless you're seriously
into Unicode.
