Fedora 23 (scheduled for the end of this month) will only come with python3 (/usr/bin/python3), no python2 (nor python), *in the base system*. Obviously, it will be possible to install Python 2 to install applications not compatible with Python 3 yet.
Note: the current development version is Fedora 23, Fedora 24 is the next one. Ubuntu is still working on a similar change.
