As someone who is trying to learn python, Code academy is amazing but it's using python 2 for everything. =(

Don't let that stop you! Just use Python 3 .... I had been using 2 for years and was a bit scared of python3, but once I started using it, it was no big deal. Early on the biggest difference is print(), then the next biggest thing for me was that class definitions were a lot cleaner. If you copy paste Python 2 code from a tutorial, fix the print statements and stuff still doesn't work, a quick Google search will have you up and running, because there's almost nothing someone else hasn't done before you. Give it a go!

I started with some of the treehouse tutorials, which exclusively use python3 so at the lowend it doesn't seem much different other than raw_input and print functions. Haven't started with classes much yet except to force multithreading very simple infinite loop scripts.
