I'm fine with removing the ‘python’ command, because that command means Python 2 and Python 2 is going away. What I am opposing is the suggestion to install, in the near to medium term, a command of exactly the same name that has subtly similar but incompatible behaviour, when that behaviour *already* has a command – ‘python3’ – that is widely used by those who need it. -- \ “From the moment I picked your book up until I laid it down I | `\ was convulsed with laughter.
