I co-maintain with Matthias a package that provides /usr/bin/python symlink in Debian and I can confirm that it will always point to Python 2.X. We also do not plan to add /usr/bin/python2 symlink (and I guess only accepted PEP can change that)
Can you please explain why you NACK this proposed change?
it encourages people to change /usr/bin/python symlink to point to python3.X which I'm strongly against (how can I tell that upstream author meant python3.X and not python2.X without checking the code?) -- Piotr Ożarowski Debian GNU/Linux Developer www.ozarowski.pl www.griffith.cc www.debian.org GPG Fingerprint: 1D2F A898 58DA AF62 1786 2DF7 AEF6 F1A2 A745 7645
