Hm, so? It's not like you need /usr/bin/python to be Python 3 to use Python 3, especially considering that Python upstream is recommending for it to remain pointed at Python 2 for now and essentially guaranteeing/mandating the existence of /usr/bin/python3. I doubt there's any Python 3 code out there that is meant for public consumption and relies on /usr/bin/python being Python 3.
- pdeuchler 14y agoPlease note I do make the distinction of the default python distribution (aka /usr/bin/python). Some companies that aren't startups cannot or will not (policy or otherwise) either maintain separate installs of python on hundreds of servers, or require use of the default install.
- sho_hn 14y agoEven if that separate install is a regular package of the distribution? I get not wanting to install from third-party repositories or even building your own (I try hard to avoid both myself, and there are good reasons not to want to invite that deployment overhead), but consider regular packages to be non-scary.
