No major Linux distro besides arch ships with 3 as it's base either. For app development 3 is good but the base platform ecosystems are way harder to move.

- sslalready 8y agoNot sure if you would agree to call them major distros but at least Fedora 23 (Nov, 2015) and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Apr, 2018) ships with Python 3 in their base.
- kjeetgill 8y agoAh,I guessthis ledme to believe that I wasn't. I suppose a better phrasing might be that everything stop ships python as python 2 still. httpss://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FinalizingFedoraSwitchtoPython3

To add one more entry to sslalready's list: Don't know if you consider Manjaro just an Arch derivative, or not-major (despite being the most popular distro on Distrowatch), but Manjaro also ships with Python3 (to be more exact - Python 3.7) as a base. $ /usr/bin/python Python 3.7.0 (default, Jul 15 2018, 10:44:58) [GCC 8.1.1 20180531] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>>
