- gsnedders 10y agoBefore upstream CPython had any defined policy on the python symlink.
- majewsky 10y agoYes, which is why it is a staple of PKGBUILDs for Python software to do sed -i s/python/python3/ /all/the/things
- qznc 10y agoRead the next line in PEP 394 ;) > however, end users should be aware that python refers to python3 on at least Arch Linux (that change is what prompted the creation of this PEP), so python should be used in the shebang line only for scripts that are source compatible with both Python 2 and 3.
