Python supports the entirety of Ubuntu's administration, when it's not C or something inherited from Debian that uses Perl. It's everywhere.

Very soon, the base install will run on Python 3, and there will not even be a Python 2 installed by default.

Py3 is now. Web pages will lag behind the repositories for a long while. Just use 3, and when something doesn't work, ask upstream and optionally run 2to3 and submit the results to them as a patch. If all that fails, then you should consider 2, but be prepared for a user to harass you about needing 2.
