This is a very common question when someone wants to learn Python. Here is a nice article about this topic: http://wiki.python.org/moin/Python2orPython3.

I follow the following simple guideline: I use that version of Python that comes with Ubuntu by default. In Ubuntu 10.10 it was Python 2.6, in Ubuntu 11.04 it’s Python 2.7. When they switch to Python 3.x, I will switch too.
