Since Python 2 is now finally gone, should the Python executable not be installed to simply `/usr/bin/python` rather than `/usr/bin/python3` when running `make install`? |

Hi, There're many people that still use py2, or both. Also python2 (python) is incompatible with python3, so we cannot call python == python3. (There was some discussion on Debian, just if you want take a look https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2020/07/msg00042.html) |

There's a PEP for this: PEP 394. If you want to change this, I suggest discussing it on the python-dev mailing list. If that leads to changes in the PEP, this issue can be re-opened. Personally I don't see this change happening until there are no systems left that install python2 as /usr/bin/python. Which is unfortunate, but such is life. Myself, I have a shell alias for python that points to python3. That solves 95% of my problems. |
