[General] Python 3.x or 2.x

[Matix A.]

Thanks Burhan

I think I'll go with the 2.6 version after reading this statement in the documentation :
(The major theme of Python 2.6 is preparing the migration path to
Python 3.0, a major redesign of the language.  Whenever possible,
Python 2.6 incorporates new features and syntax from 3.0 while
remaining compatible with existing code by not removing older features
or syntax.)
