If it's changing the "python" attribute or command to alias "python3", I don't really see the advantage in doing that. It will just unnecessarily and silently break stuff (like user scripts that have "#!/usr/bin/env python"). We could remove the "python" and "pythonPackages" attributes from Nixpkgs, forcing use of "python2" or "python3". Then at least people's Nix expressions won't change meaning silently. -- Eelco Dolstra | LogicBlox, Inc. | http://nixos.org/~eelco/ _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
