Python 2.7 is most stable at the moment. Some modules don't work on newer versions for instance kivy doesn't work on python 3.5 but will work on python 2.7 Personally i use both Python 2.7 and 3.5

Use Python 3 whenever you can : all new features are going to Python 3. For instance, the 3.6 beta was released recently : you have a new module for added cryptographic security, a new implementation of dictionaries, etc. Somme brilliant features, and some more... useless (as in the addition of math.tau...)

If you are new to Python, you might be confused about the different versions that are available. Although Python 3 is the latest generation of the language, many programmers still use Python 2.7, the final update to Python 2, which was released in 2010. There is currently no clear-cut answer to the question of which version of Python you should use; the decision depends on what you want to achieve. While Python 3 is clearly the future of the language, some programmers choose to remain with Python 2.7 because some older libraries and packages only work in Python 2

I would consider to stay on 2.7 for some time. My linux system fully supports 2.7, so its more suitable for me now.
