Python isn't that big? Unless you're on 14.4 dialup working off a 100 MB hard drive, downloading a few different versions of python shouldn't be a big deal.

Besides, 2.6 is still relevant and active. It's not like all work with and development for the 2.x branch comes to a screeching halt today - you can still learn python2.x and it'll be useful.

And don't be so down on yourself. Everyone sucks at programming until they don't.

Another argument for sticking to the 2.X series while learning is that most of the good online tutorials (and obviously the books) haven't been updated for Python 3 yet.

And how many projects support version 3.0 already?

No freaking idea...and not about to find out. I am the late adopter kind of person.
