Python 2.x instead of Python 3.x

Why doesn't SoloLearn teaches Python 2.x instead of Python 3.x Presently in our school Python 2.7 is being taught and i found it to be better than Python 3.4???? Moreover I'm Stressing on the matters of input and print statements...

Python2 is past and presence. python3 is presence and future. There was a time at the beginning of python3, where all the custom modules wetw not yet adapted to py3. but those days are more or less gone. also py3 is a bit straighter. Beginners normally have to learn some little changes like input and print. runaways will face changes in concepts(map).

Yes, Sherlock you are right.. I am too student and in my school Python 2.7 tought, When I come to sl, I also found difficulty.. especially in input method. As a beginners there should be Python 2. 7 but I think Python 3. x comforts Sl😌

You can see here when Python 2.x will retire in. So it is best to learn Python 3.x from now. https://pythonclock.org/
