my questions are:
what version of pythn should i start with and what is the difference between python3.3 and 2.7 as i hav both installed in my pc.
Is python 3.3 compatible with all other versions of python

i would say use 2.7 becos it has many packages
and pyhton 3 is not backward compatible with many
third party libraries .
python 3 is yet to get many packages

i guess it's been long you guys ran a search on ur favorite python library for py3
i use python 3.2 and have no issues getting whaever library i need.

@Webdezzi
which libraries are compatible with py3000?
cuz am just sticking with python 2.7 which has a gud number of libraries & free tutorials

webdezzi: i guess it's been long you guys ran a search on ur favorite python library for py3

Then the libraries u need is the Python Standard Library that ships with the software. But if u need to do most other things like scientific or hardware programming etc, u will be needing other 3rd party libraries which arent compatible with py3000 yet.

well, so far for projects am working on, all libraries i need are available
matplotlib, pywin32, pyQt, cx_freeze, Psycopg, PyODBC, MySQL-python, Numpy
I get to generate pdf with pyQT's QPrinter.

check this link for most of the libraries, Though i must confess, some are still not available for py3

Hmmm. Thanks webdezzi for that info on pyQT's QPrinter. I think I will find it useful.
