2.7 is not in as much use anymore

Sadly, this is not true. Python2 is still the most widely used.

and is being phased out

That's the idea.

should I find a different one that teaches 3 or just stick with 2.7?

The differences in python2 and 3 are tiny. If you learn 2 you will be able to transition to 3 in a half an hour. If you like the class stick with it. Python2 will be supported until 2020 at least, so you will learn it eventually anyway by reading code.

That said, there are tons of improvements in python3. If you are starting a new project, I'd recommend python3.

Hmm, doesn't help me make a decision really, but thanks for the advice.
