This has been brought up elsewhere, I think this is a better forum to discuss it. Changing /usr/bin/python directly to python3.x is bad idea, in my option. It's going to cause users trouble and the benefit to Python 3.x users is not worth it. Instead, let's try to find a smooth migration path.
As a data point, when you install Python 3 using Conda, the executable is already called "python": $ python Python 3.4.2 |Continuum Analytics, Inc.| (default, Oct 21 2014, 17:16:37) [GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-1)] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
