I am just a beginner I want to know what version of Phyton are they using in the course online? I know it says the 3.0 one won't work well so which one should we use?

Question

Get the 2.7 version. That one works well with all of their course handouts and the lectures.

Here's a link to the downloads page: http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.2/ If you are using Windows, the MSI installer works well. The 32-bit version works fine on either system, but if you know that you have a 64-bit system, go ahead and grab the 64-bit version. You can check if you like by opening system in your control panel (start->control panel for many newer versions) and looking at what's listed by system. You can also often get the system display by clicking start, right clicking computer and selecting properties.

I would advise against the 64 bit version (windows) due to probabl incompatibiilty with some modules you might use later in the course (numpy in particular)

get the 32 bit one :-D
