Other than the differences that the 3.x version is an attempt to clear the desks and reorganize the internal structure of Python language and that 2.x is at the end of it's life cycle, here are the differences between the two major versions of the Python Language.

Python 2.x	Python 3.x
Reached end of life. Support will be discontinued.	Is the future of Python and will be supported in future.
Is backward compatible	Has less regards for backward compatibility.
Had a lot of clutter piling up due to unplanned growth and development of the language.	Has cleaned up the clutter int o a better organised structure
Lacked extensive Unicode support	Supports the Unicode encoding better
Less consistent in it's own bulk due to fragmentation	More consistent and thus easier for newcomers to learn
Extensive library support	Slightly worse library support

Surely, Python 3.x is still a work in progress and it will soon overcome its few counted drawbacks.
