Hi evry1.Pls I want to know if there's any advantage of learning python2 as a beginner,or should I jump to python3?

I read that python 2,come 2020,will be terminated by python. So I'm actually curious to know if I should start from 2 or jump right into 3,which they call "the future now". I also heard that the changes in python3 isn't really minor. pls I need help as I somuchly need to learn python(the beginners language,if I'm not mistaken).

I think that its really important know basics of language and in this context there arent much differences... If you have good reference go to Py3 else Py2 but though Py2 support will stop this dont mean that Py2 dont will work anymore... C its a very old language with no "updates" and its the more knowed and used language by statistics found online

It does not matter which one you choose first. Let's say you learn python 3 first, after you understand the basics it will be easy to pick up the differences with python 2.

Learning python 2 vs. python 3 is not like learning 2 different languages. It is more like, learning 2 different dialects Of the same language. Like, English vs American maybe? :-)
