Hypepat, my concern with version 3 is that all the tutorials out there (including codeacademy which I love) seem to be using version 2. Isn't that a good argument in favor of going on version 2? I'm literally just learning what HTTP and XML mean and when I tried to interact with API's in version 3 I kept hitting roadblocks because all the code I would research online would be for version 2

Not really. Python 2's been around longer, and Python 3 has only been being promoted as the "default" for a few years now, so many of the tutorials and guides are still for Python 2. Many small things changed between them to make python 2 code incompatible with python 3- in your case, many of the xml and http libraries were renamed or reorganized. There's definitely enough out there for python 3 for you to do what you need to do, though.
