Another, more compelling, reason to follow that advice: Python 2 is in
maintenance-only mode and will receive no support at all in a few years.
It is a dead end.

Python 3 is actively developed and will be supported indefinitely.

Beginners today should prefer Python 3 unless they know that they must
remain on older versions, and even then should correct whatever is
keeping them from moving to the actively-developed language.
