Canonical has been working on making 3.x default for Ubuntu for a while. From https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Python/3 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Python/3
> It is a release goal for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS to have only Python 3 on the desktop CD images. Also, we won't be allowing Python 2 on the Ubuntu touch images.
- pfh 13y ago... Why would you do that? Why is there an either/or choice? It's like if typing "python" suddenly started running ruby. They're different languages, they should have different names on the command line. Possibly typing "python" should be deprecated, should issue a deprecation warning before starting Python2. It's also a pity Python2 and Python3 source files aren't easily distinguished and will generally produce obscure errors if run using the wrong interpreter.
