Looking at install scripts for slackware's python2 and python3, the symbolic
link /usr/bin/python is for python2, whatever package you install first. And
even if python2 is uninstalled, you won't have a /usr/bin/python executable.
So python is python2, and python3 is always explicit.
However, more and more slackbuilds are explicit for python2 also, which is a
good thing, and should be the rule, at least whenever any given python2 package
is updated for another good reason.
- Yth.
