Brew only gives you a python3 command and will say the package is some name like python@3.<version>-3.<version>. Windows does have a python package but also calls it python3 in places. Also going from things I run into regularly.. python2 is still the most used language in many places with it being provided as /usr/local/bin/python or some other variant. Scripts which call /usr/bin/python are still mostly python2 scripts and will break if run with python3 on the first `print ""` statement or some other thing. With EL7 and similar long lived python2 distributions going EOL this year.. I expect that this python2 will start to move, but I figure we are still a decade out (going from how long I was dealing with perl4 after perl5 had been out). > I am trying to demonstrate that things should be obvious.
