Python 3 and openSUSE. How?

English Programming/Scripting
#1

I’m new to programming and my first language is going to be Python. I have been programming in Python 2 with eric Python IDE for a while but now I want to switch to Python 3. And eric(version 4.2.1) doesn’t seem to handle Python 3 so I’m asking you where do you write your Python 3 code? I tried to update Eric using to instructions that came with the update file but that doesn’t seem to work on openSUSE when Eric is installed through YaST at least.

Isn’t it possible for you to remain with Python 2.6 until all these
gotchas are solved and use ‘from future import’ for the time being
for the feature you need?
(not tried here though)
