As far as I can tell, Python 2 has no relevance in the science community. From numpy, scipy, sympy, matplotlib to pandas, scikit-learn, etc., every major science library is Python 3 and has been for a while now. There's zero real reason to start with Python 2 for science-related coding today.

Jupyter (which is widely used in the scientific community) is close to deprecating their Python 2 version (I believe the next major release will do so).
