Title says it all. Does it matter or I will be fine ? My teacher is quite a dick sometimes so I think he might refuses it lol.

Also, I am reading "LearnPythonTheHardway" and "A Byte of Python"
are they any good ?

[Hello Buddy]

You could always just ask if you can learn python 3 instead of the class isn't to far in.

From what I've heard though I don't think there is a massive difference between the 2

I've heard that Python 2 is better. This is why I am asking that 😵

[Tyranus.]

They are both better in their own ways, however if you school is going based off of Python 3, then I can assure you that you will be marked wrong if you provide P2 syntax. Little things like print vs print() or range vs xrange

[xXRippedMasterXx]

They aren't much different. Just make the switch you won't notice much.

Stick to Python 3+. More features, bug fixes, and constant improvements.

[Slim]

You're gonna have to go with python 3, it'll just be too confusing otherwise.

[WitchKing]

There are very few syntax that may vary but both versions are always same so Learn python 2 and then python3

[Enzio]

Alright thanks for the help and any suggestions for good Python 3 books/Tutorial?

This has a bunch of things to get you started as well as some cool project tutorials you could use to learn more from

py3 is the future of python. I would go with the class there is nothing in python 2 you couldnt read or do if you learned python 3.

[Feanor]

do you want to know the truth? .. you can't even tell the difference.

[Hackin]

If you already know some python 2 python 3 will be easy to pickup, there are subtle differences like using brackets after print.

[SavageBoys]

Its translates easily, I found a good way to get a quick look at the differences is reading the 2to3 documentation.

2to3 is a good util for doing quick conversions but its not perfect so don't depend on it, sometimes outputting the diff and doing the work yourself is best.

No. Python 3 is the future. The only differences you'll notice are some slight syntax changes, and a separation between data (bytes) and strings.
