Because any user of Fedora trying to learn Python using either books or online sources will be told to type "python" and said user will expect it to work. Or they know python, use it, but don't care about the details of versions, and so just expect to type "python" and it works because thats what upstream decided? And when it doesn't work, a percentage of said users will then try another distribution or *bsd that does provide said standard of just typing "python" _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
