[Question] V2/V3, what's the difference? - Inori - 03-31-2015
I'm a total noob to python and on the download site, there's a V2.[whatever] and V3.[whatever]. What's the difference between the two?

You should go for V2. It's more widespread and supported by more shit.
In v2, print is a statement, and raw_input() is used instead of input(). In v3, print() is a function. Those are the two biggest differences, but there's some others that you should familiarise yourself with. You can find them here.

I would say go with Python 3 since its the future and everal things specially encoding stuffs has been fixed.
See the following

Regarding the library support of Python 3 then thats not a problem since most of the useful and mostly used libraries are compatible with both Python 2 and 3 so thats not a problem at all
