Question

What version of python should we install ? I think I'm going with 2.

Answer 1

Try to work with latest version of any software if it is possible...!!! v2 is not bad but for me v3.3 is batter..!! the choice id yours!

Answer 2

I believe for the course, v2.7 is suggested!

Answer 3

I wrote 2 but yes v2.7.3 is what I meant. I downloaded the windows version from this site and installed it on my windows : •Windows x86 MSI Installer (2.7.3) (sig) http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.3/

Answer 4

That should do just fine for the course!

Answer 5

yes you are right.....!! actually I also take a 8 weeks course from University of Toronto in fundamentals of programming and they use v3.0 of python!

Answer 6

There are a few differences that I found between V 2 and 3.

Python has the following keywords or reserved words; they cannot be used as identifiers

exec (changed to a built-in function in 3.x)
False (added in 3.x)
None (added in 3.x)
nonlocal (added in 3.x)
print (changed to a built-in function in 3.x)
True (added in 3.x)
