Hi All,

Which version of the python is recommended to use? considering

1. Ansible project to work on multiple Operating systems
2. It is a new project and we should consider future use of the project also

Thanks,  
Akash

Ansible will work with both. You are starting your project at a time when most other projects support both but the weight of past work has been with python 2 and the focus of future work by most projects is on python3.
