When you go into the Python shell in Workspaces, the first thing you see is the version of Python:

You can also get it with the command python -V or python --version.

The last coding contest (Rock-Paper-Scissors) was meant to be done using Python 3. I believe the rest of the course is also done with Python 3. Correct me if I am wrong though.

Treehouse is Python 3 only because 2.7 is depreciated.

The final 2.x version 2.7 release came out in mid-2010, with a statement of extended support for this end-of-life release.
