More importantly, it ensures that programs written for older Python 2.x
will continue to run with the default ‘python’.

If the default ‘python’ were Python 3.x, programs expecting Python 2.x
would most likely break due to backward incompatibility. So it's best if
the ‘python’ program invokes only Python 2.x.
