Question

Which version of Python are we supposed to download for the Mechanical MOOC?

Answer 1

I think python 2.7 is the best related to materials shared and coursecademy exercices : http://www.python.org/download/

Answer 2

Codeacademy uses 2.7x I believe, I am not completely sure of the differences, but I believe they are minor enough to pick one or the other 2.6x or 2.7x and be fine either way.
