What version of Python?

I know some of the tools are written in python, I am curious which version is used for most of them. I’m going to start delving in it and wanted to know if I should focus on version 2 or 3?

Cheers!
Tim

Focus on the last version.

ubuntu-mate-welcome and mate-tweak both use Python3.
Python2 is still heavily used for scientific libraries.
As a programming language, Python3 is better.

Thanks for the input everyone.

I second the Python3 recommendation. Switched from Python2 about two years ago. Using Python 3.6 on UbuntuMATE systems at work. Most of the other engineers have switched from Matlab to Python and are more productive and glad they made the switch!
