Surely the administrators of such systems can solve that problem with a few symlinks at most, not even code changes.

Surely the administrators of such systems can solve that problem with a few symlinks at most, not even code changes.
- _kst_ 7y agoSure, but those symlinks have to be consistently created and maintained, possibly on multiple new and existing systems. If you already have infrastructure that does similar things, it's probably not much of an issue, but I can see missing or misdirected symlinks being a common problem. Maintaining the symlink in the distribution (Debian or whatever) reduces the chance of errors.
- catalogia 7y agoIf there is any authentic popular demand for such a thing at all, I have no doubt that somebody in the python 2 community will see fit to publish a script that creates the appropriate symlinks.
- _kst_ 7y agoI have no doubt that multiple people will publish such scripts, and that they'll be subtly incompatible. (Cynical? Moi?)
