The default version shown on http://docs.python.org/ is now 3.3.0, which I think is a Good Thing. However, http://python.org/download/ puts 2.7 first, and says:

"""If you don't know which version to use, start with Python 2.7; more existing third party software is compatible with Python 2 than Python 3 right now.""" Firstly, is this still true? (I wouldn't have a clue.)

Nope:

http://py3ksupport.appspot.com/ http://python3wos.appspot.com/ (plone and zope skew the results)
