So people try to learn to code with python 3.x and get frustrated because simplest things don't work.
They should seriously rethink the whole 3.x thing. I must say, introducing it probably did more harm than good for the future of this language.

It is the same as this page:
http://www.python.org/download/
That page gives fairly equal weight to the two versions (I guess that could have changed over time).
Edit: It might make sense to have a warning about matching the interpreter version up with the tutorial, but clear wording for it is not obvious to me.
Additionally, when a beginner sees this page, he sees two versions - of which one is 3 and one is 2 - I think most of people will choose the "newer" ( newer = better? ) version because they don't really know about the differences between the two.
The second part of the problem is the fragmentation of tutorials on other websites - which can't be fixed by changing the download page.
