Python 2.7 or 3.3 for learning Django

I am interested in learning Python but I don't know which version I should chose. When I Googled, I got answers posted over a year ago. If I want to learn Django, which version will be useful and will get support?

Note that I know C, C++, Java and C#.

If you already know several languages then learn both Python 2 and 3. The difference is small enough to allow many projects to support both versions using single (the same) source code.

For actual deployment you might prefer Python 2.7 if you need to use dependencies that are not ported to Python 3.

I would recommend to start with python 2.7, it just more commonly used nowadays, and django is written in 2.7 AFAIK.

Apparently the answer you found still holds:

Should we use python 2.6 or 2.7 or 3.x?

First, a short comparison is It's Better than 2.7 and When should Python 3.3 become the default. However, remember that Python is in fact a script language and you can use C or C++ in doing modules with new capabilities.

Django only has experimental support for Python 3, so you'll have to go with Python 2.7 for now.
