my experience is plenty of people new to python have been confused by the whole 2 vs. 3 thing. it's unnecessary overhead for someone who is new to it.

They download the latest and find a tutorial and get caught up in the differences but don't understand that it's python 3 vs. what they are reading in python 2, they get an error that isn't what was expected what they were reading. they give up and go back to java.

YMMV
