I am about to embark on some signal processing work using NumPy/SciPy. However, I have never used Python before and don't know where to start.
I see there are currently two branches of Python in this world: Version 2.x and 3.x. Being a neophile, I instinctively tend to go for the newer one, but there seems to be a lot of talk about incompatibilities between the two. Numpy seems to be compatible with Python 3. I can't find any documents on SciPy.
Would you recommend to go with Python 3 or 2?
(could you point me to some resources to get started? I know C/C++, Ruby, Matlab and some other stuff and basically want to use NumPy instead of Matlab.)

Python 3 support in SciPy was introduced in SciPy 0.9. 0.
NumPy is written in C and so has a faster computational speed. SciPy is written in Python and so has a slower execution speed but vast functionality.
Both scipy and numpy are compatible with py3k. However, if you'll need to plot stuff: matplotlib is not yet officially compatible with py3k. So, it'll depend on whether your signalling processing involves plotting.
Syntactic differences are not that great between the two version.
