Ask HN: Python 3 or Python 2.7?

I've been meaning to learn Python for a long time now. I have no experience in programming (except for a few lessons of LPTHW). But in a month, I'm going to have a lot of free time on my hand and I've decided it's time to get off my bum and finally learn it.

But my question is, should I learn Python 3 and be future-proof or learn Python 2.7 and figure out the differences later on?

I'm on Debian Sid (Crunchbang to be specific) right now, but it isn't much of a problem to install Python 3.
