It has not. Python2 and Python3 are very similar. It's not like if you learn Python using version 2, you have to relearn the language when you want to switch Python3.  The syntax is the same, only 'print' is a function instead of a statement. Other improvements are unicode strings, cleanups in the library, lazy iterators, new-style classes by default etc... mostly background stuff you won't even notice in daily Python use.
