Yep, that's a problem. I've built up a habit on Ubuntu where I type python3 a
number of times a day, honed over several years. So far so good.
Also note that Python doesn't control the OS vendors and this is very much a vendor decision. We tried to provide guidance, but that doesn't mean we are listened to. :)
Recently I've had to use a Windows VM for some stuff at work, where I installed
Python 3 as well. Every time I type python3 at the command-line (instead of
python) to use the repl, it tries to load the Microsoft App Store!
There is an option to install Python to PATH on Windows if you check the appropriate box during installation, but that's not really the way Windows apps typically work.
I realize why that was done, to help out newbies, but it is not what I want at
all. Not the end of the world, but some consistency would be nice.
As I said, you can install Python to PATH on Windows if you choose.
I'm also slowly working on a Python Launcher for UNIX so the other option some day might be `py` no matter what OS you're on.
