Let's Walk Through the Curriculum

Why Python3?

Short version: Python 2.x is legacy, Python 3.x is the present and future of the language

Python3 vs. Python2

From the Python Wiki:

It's a little more complicated than that

It's taken a very long time for people/companies to switch over.

Python2.x is still commonly used

ALMOST 10 Years Later....

The situation has improved a lot.

So Why Learn Python3?

It's easiest to learn Python3.x and then learn the differences/quirks of Python2.x

It's almost been 10 years. Many of the main criticisms are no longer valid.

Almost all popular packages support 3.x now. It's no longer a sacrifice to use 3.x

IT'S THE FUTURE
