I am starting to learn Python, hottest scripting language right now !
Before I start just wanna make sure of my query :
- I have heard that there has been massive change from Python2 to Python3, sometimes script written in 2 needs to re-coded if to be assembled in 3. I have this book "Python for dummies" & "Python for beginners" , where Python 2 is used, so I am using Python 2.7.3 stable for "learning",once i get into it I want to use latest version, so I wanna know what major changes are there in Python 3.

If anyone knows please mention it here.
Thank you 😀

I am learning python2.7.3 thats becasue when I decided to learn python this was considered stable version. I have not started using python3 yet.
Currently most of the python learning kits are in 2.x , incase you are opting to learn py3.x , better have good resources to start off. python documentation is self sufficient but you need other exercises too to do what you read.

I would still suggest you to learn the latest available stable version right now python has moved from 2.7.3 to 3.x and seems there are 3 3.x series.

Thank you #-Link-Snipped-# for helping.

One more question, is it possible to use Python 2.7.3 & Python 3.2.3 in same distro ? I am using Fedora Beefy miracle at this moment, in path /usr/lib I founded Python 2.7 & Python3 two folders but one single folder of Pymodules. and i am using IDLE & sometime Geany as IDE(I wonder how IDE will identify the python version to be used),so can i use py2 & py3 both in single distro ?

Or,
Should i use dual booted Ubuntu for Python 3.2.3 ? I wanna learn both together.

Sorry for inconvenience ,durga.
Just confused -_-

I am using windows, so I cant comment otherwise :-|.
But I think it should not be a problem running 2 versions of python on a given machine., as I have 2 versions (2.6 and 2.7) on my computer.

Here as for unix/linux systems are considered, seems there is a way out.

Certainly you can. No need to dual boot. I use in shell python for python 2.7.3 & python3 for python 3.3.
```
$python CE.py #for python 2.7.3
$python3 CE.py #for python 3.3
```
Same terminal for different interpreters. 😛😁
