Totally agree in principle.
One interesting note - MacOS doesn't have a /usr/bin/python2 (at least, not at the time of this writing). It supplies /usr/bin/python, and also /usr/bin/python2.7.
That might not matter at all, but it's worth noting.
- KerrickStaley 8y agoI know. I filed a bug about this in Apple's tracker years ago and they still haven't done anything about it. This contravenes the official upstream Python recommendation, which is that "Unix-like software distributions (including systems like Mac OS X and Cygwin) should install the python2 command into the default path whenever a version of the Python 2 interpreter is installed". See PEP-394 https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/ https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/.
