Python 2 or 3?

Question

Of course, in technology you might abide by Barney Stinson’s rule, “new is always better,” but I feel like this isn’t necessarily the case with Python.

Which version do you use/prefer? Or do you use both for different projects? I use Python 2 but prefer the syntax of Python 3.

Answer 1

Being an Arch Linux user, living on the bleeding edge feels right and you should really be using the newer Python version.

Answer 2

support for 2 is running out... see https://pythonclock.org
i am new to pythom myself, but as i read python 3 is supposed to be sustainable compatible to future versions it would be wise to go into 3 rather than 2 right off the start

Answer 3

Python 3 for the future according the Python Software Foundation Python 2 will not be supported by 2020.
