xD You're not the first one to say that Python 2 is better than Python 3.. Occasionally posts are flung around on the weirdness of 3 and the quirkiness of 2. Or more specifically, 2.7 and 3.4.

PREHISTORIC CODING DINOSAURS!!! YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT CODING!!! PYTHON 3 IS THE FUTURE!!!
Also, what about Python 3.5?

Um.. Lol.
3.5 is not mentioned a lot xD All I mentioned in my post are that I prefer 2, that 3 is weird, and what have been happening in the ATs. I never said that any of them is better (at least in that post)- I don't have enough awesomeness to make that claim

Let's stop being offtopic now before arguing on how old cavemen have a healthier diet and enough exercise than 'ye futuristic modern humans!

Can you explain please?

Python 3 is weird because it changes how Python 2 works, and Python 2 is weird because of how it works.

^^^ I guess I was just so used to Python 2….

I would recommend trying Python. I found it really easy to understand when I first started out. Although, as any other sane person will tell you, learn Python 2, not 3.
No seriously, don't learn Python 3

Learn Python 3 first
LEARN PYTHON 3
but like, why? why would you prefer python 2?! (py 2 has odd syntax for print and input() is just way messed up, also you can't have unicode characters like accented letters in strings)

You're my new best friend

I recommend you learn Python 2 and Python 3, because once you've learned 2, it's really easy to learn 3. Learning 2 is important because if you're collaborating with people or using a library, then you're gonna need to write 2 sometimes.

But Python 2 can't have non-ASCII characters in strings, so it is only useful for people who use the Latin alphabet without accents!

I kind of agree, but Python 3 first.

EDIT: Wow, Python 2/3 argument has took about a whole page of this discussion!
At least most people agree on one thing, Python is a good first (or in this case second) language to learn.

You can put Unicode characters in strings, but you have to put a u in front of the string.
