What version of Python should I use if I'm a new to Python?
<p>If I'm absolutely new to Python and am literally reading about printing statements to console, variable types, collections, etc:</p>

<p>I'm aware that there is an abundance of 3rd party libraries for Python 2.6.x, but I'm scared I'll learn some things that won't carry over well into Python 3.</p>

<p>For example, in Python 3 you can use input(), in Python 2 you have to use raw_input().</p>

<p>Thank you very much for the information.</p>
