+1 — almost. I agree that "python" be the default, but it would be good to require (or at least highly encourage) that there be a "python3" as well. There will be folks wanting to run python3 on systems where there is still a "python" pointing to py2 — particularly since that is still the "correct" way to do it! > (And maybe this isn't currently how things are done, but I'd rather hold up > an ideal than pretend that the status quo can't be changed - Exactly. -CHB > this list is literally for discussing changing the status quo of anything in > core Python ;) ) > > Cheers, > Steve > _______________________________________________ > Python-Dev mailing list > [email protected] > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev > Unsubscribe: > https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/chris.barker%40noaa.gov _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
