"Python 3.0 (a.k.a. 'Python 3000' or 'Py3k') is a new version of the language that is incompatible with the 2.x line of releases. The language is mostly the same, but many details, especially how built-in objects like dictionaries and strings work, have changed considerably, and a lot of deprecated features have finally been removed. Also, the standard library has been reorganized in a few prominent places." See what's new in Python 3.0 for differences between 2.x and 3.x.

I've been using the 3.0 beta for a while and I have been really impressed with the cleanup the Python team has done.
I am also very happy with the improved Unicode support.
I'll still be using 2.5 for a while due to a bunch of Django code, but like others have said, that's OK because 2.5.2 is a great version of Python too.
