Other commenters link to similar issues with Wayland screen lockers. So I am not sure how the current shiny fixes things.

In contrast to Wayland that can be installed in parallel to python 3. So the only reason to remove it is if you enjoy breaking working software.
- canofbars 6y agoIts not that they still had python 2, its that the binary "python" referred to python 2 on ubuntu (it might even still be like this) while other distros had it pointed to python 3.
- josefx 6y agoGiven that python versions are incompatible by design you should probably explicitly refer to the version your code supports. At least that is my takeaway from this mess.
- stretchcat 6y agoThis whole situation is a bad trap for novices, given how many tutorials, class slides, etc ask students to copy/paste various invocations of pip and python that may or may not work verbatim on their distro.

- seba_dos1 6y agoThe difference is that with Wayland there are no design issues that prevent you from implementing it reliably and securely; if it's broken it's an implementation problem that can be fixed. Also: > In contrast to Wayland I don't think Wayland is what you think it is.
