https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=526126 --- Comment #52 from Dave Malcolm <[email protected]> 2009-11-18 10:30:40 EDT --- (In reply to comment #51) > hmm i am curious why not call python3 -> python and the old version > python-compat2.6 or whatever? Python 3 is intended by upstream to be the future of Python, but we have many critical components that use Python 2. Python 2 and Python 3 are sufficiently different that we need both (try writing "print" in each). Python 2 will be around for a long time. Changing the meaning of "python" to mean python 3 rather than python 2 in specfiles/yum/rpmdb would have a very high chance of breaking something during updates, and I don't see any real benefit. Hence the plan is to continue to use "python-" to mean the existing python 2 stack, and "python3-" for the new parallel-installable python3 stack.
