[Python-Dev] [PEPs] Support the /usr/bin/python2 symlink upstream

[Kerrick Staley]

Sorry, I was unaware that Gmail splits threads that are longer than 100
messages, so I hadn't seen the last 26 messages when I wrote the above
message. It seems that in the last 26 messages, there was lots of discussion
toward the inclusion of provisions for Windows in this PEP. I didn't mean to
silence those opinions, so I retract the part about Windows in my last
message and instead defer the decision to the rest of you, since I don't
care too strongly about it. I sometimes neglect to throw an "I think" into a
sentence when I really should.
However, I would still like to suggest in the softest of ways that, since it
seems that the issues on Windows are complex and multiple possible solutions
must be evaluated, it may be best to finalize this PEP and then start work
on another one that addresses the issue on Windows. Also, there may not be
enough commonality between the solutions on the two platforms to justify
keeping the solutions in the same document.
