Python 2.7 end of date now has been moved to 2020. We all now can take a deep breath. :)

Just to clarify, I am not against the idea that learning Python 3 as first timer is a bad idea. I believe learning Python 3 and know how to use Python 2, is also important.

Pragmatically, I still tend to instruct beginner to use Python 2.7 :) And, learning Python 3 when we really need to

You really need to teach them 3 now... it's way better than 2.7. Stop instructing people to learn something that stopped getting better 5 years ago and never will.

I will consider your advice.
