- toyg 9y agoYup, and it will be reviewed and likely changed at some point: This recommendation will be periodically reviewed over the next few years, and updated when the core development team judges it appropriate. So it's likely that at some point between here and 2020, or in 2020 at worst, the recommendation will change. IMHO Python 3 has now reached a level of maturity and backward-compatibility where it can safely take over as system python. It's now shipped by Fedora, which means the next RHEL will also ship it. Updating old scripts should mostly be a matter of grepping and shebanging from python to python2, and there is now no point in procrastinating further with this move.
