Please don't spread FUD. The news only says that the DESKTOP CD IMAGE will not contain python 2.x, this doesn't mean Ubuntu 12.10 will remove python 2.x from the distribution. This also doesn't affect server images, or any other Ubuntu images. The server cd image and other images will contain Python 2.x as usual.
Even if you do a fresh install from the desktop cd image, all you'll need to do is run 'apt get' or use whichever GUI you use to install packages from the Ubuntu repository, same as you'd do for any other software that is a part of Ubuntu but not distributed on the install media. I believe this Ubuntu's decision is a mistake nevertheless. I have nothing against python 3, but who ever is behind such "political statements", isn't helping it's promotion with such moves. IMHO, naturally... Regards, Ales On Friday, September 7, 2012 2:56:59 PM UTC+2, Luther Goh Lu Feng wrote: > > FYI: Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal says bye bye to Python 2.
