Treehouse Guest TeacherWe won't be using Python 2.7 as the Python 2 branch has an announced end-of-life already and won't be updated regularly (or even reliably, other than show-stopping security bugs). Since Python 3 is the future of Python, that's what we'll be focusing on.
As for simpler, 99% of Python 2 and Python 3 are the same. The only major differences are how imports, exceptions, and unicode are handled and that print() is now a function instead of a statement.

Treehouse Guest TeacherYou shouldn't have any more trouble learning Python 3.x than you did learning Python 2.x.
