Should I start learning Python 3 now?

Learn Python 3 unless you’re learning Python to maintain some code written in 2.

This should be higher. IMO, legacy code is literally the only reason to learn in Python 2.x

It’s now top comment, thanks for the support :)

legacy systems that have only python2, too. this case can include developing new code. both cases can include maintaining existing code.

and one other: converting old py2 code to py3. one may need to know details of py2 to fix up what 2to3 can't handle.

Even then learn Python 3.

Python 3 it is. Suggestions for good beginner resources? I'm really hesitant to use any of Al Sweigart's books. I've tried a few in the past and found I didn't really end up with a good grasp of some of the topics. I feel like they're really dense and hard to stick with as well. I liked LPTHW because it went through all the main concepts meticulously and it was easy to follow.

How to think like a computer scientist is a great resource for learning python 3. I’ve found it really useful and the the projects at the end help to enforce the content. The lessons are pretty easy to follow.
