Went digging to see what version they support, and found it - buried -
and with some FUD:

https://developers.google.com/edu/python/set-up
"For Google's Python Class, you want a python version that is 2.4 or
later, and avoiding the 3.x versions for now is probably best."

I would recommend going with Python 3, preferably 3.3, because that's
the future of Python. Unless you have a good reason for sticking with
2.x, go with 3.x.
