I understand we should have a default version for, say, automated binary generation. But shouldn’t the user be able to override that system-wide default with their own choice? Not using an environment variable like PATH, but some sort of user triggered mechanism, much like what exists in FreeBSD ports, where you can specify your preferred version in /etc/make.conf. I thought this was what python_select was for: not only setting soft links, but also choosing a default version for one’s own python-dependent ports. But apparently it is not? Vincent
