You don't understand. 90% of everything is shit. I have tried Python 2 and can confirm that it is shit. But Python 3 is supposed to be less shitty than Python 2. And it's incompatible, so why would I bother with the older, shittier version?

Python 2 vs 3

Python 3 was released to fix problems present in Python 2. The nature of these changes meant that Python 3 was incompatible with Python 2...

I am new to Python. Should I learn Python 2 or Python 3?

Python 3 fixes many of the problems that are present in Python 2. Python 3 is also the future of the language since Python 2 will be retired in 2020. It's therefore recommended that beginners learn Python 3. Moreover, if you're going to write new code, Python 3 is the one to choose. Eevee's blog article gives a detailed explanation of all the good things in Python 3.

If you've to maintain legacy Python 2 code, it's still best to learn Python the right way from Python 3.
