Everyone's given good reasons for each version and where to start. This, as
you can imagine, is also an FAQ which is asked several times a year, so it
may also be worthwhile to search the archives to see what has been said in
the past.

I also answered this question on Quora
<http://www.quora.com/Python-programming-language-1/As-someone-interested-in-learning-Python-should-I-start-with-2-x-or-go-straight-to-3-x/answer/Wesley-Chun>and
provided several references as well as a few talks I've given in the past
on the subject.

Cheers,
-- Wesley
