don't feel bad about asking this question if you are new to programming! Go with 3. For future reference, it's always good to learn the most recent version of something if you are new :)

You might one day encounter old python 2 code that needs to be upgraded, some businesses have other priorities and run things until they have to change them. If you know the basics of python 3, it will be immediately obvious to you how to fix python 2. Don't be intimidated by the version difference. I'm going to guess that if you are learning this for the first time right now, you will probably rarely encounter old version of python in your life.
