I am going to go for Python 3 as well. I am kind of learning Python by doing mods, so it does not make sense to me to learn an "old" language. It's not that big a deal if a mod is 2.7 and won't work; I'll just have to make my own 3.x version if I want that functionality on my board. Good learning experience.
