We want it to work as well as it works python 2. If it is the default or not I have no strong opinion. > There is one task remaining.

If the first command is python we should change it to the python version configured. If the user wants to use a different python version the user is free to use say "python2 -tt ..." For example in my system where python is python2 I have: $ ll /usr/bin/python lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 7 Jan 12 18:00 /usr/bin/python -> python2 $ ll /usr/bin/python2 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Jan 12 18:00 /usr/bin/python2 -> python2.7 And that has been like this for ages. :-) > Kornel -- José Abílio
