To be more explicit. I think it's perfectly fine to not provide a /usr/bin/python at all, but I think pointing it to Python 3 will provide unhelpful error messages. Also having a /usr/bin/python that does nothing but say "You should use either /usr/bin/python2 or /usr/bin/python3" would work. But pointing it to Python 3 will make for unhelpful and confusing error messages for anyone having Python scripts using /usr/bin/python, which is the majority of people having python scripts at all. //Lennart _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
