You should definitely learn Python 2. Almost all libraries still are on 2, so if you tried to go straight to 3, you'd have to struggle your way around most newbie documentation on the internet - Especially if you're planning on doing Django work.

Anyway, there isn't a whole lot of difference between python 2 and 3, really. The "proper" way of coding in python2 is very similar to python3.

I wish this weren't true. We all need to be pushing towards 3, and I think introducing people to 2 isn't helping the community in general -- but it is the right thing on an individual level.
