== Summary ==
In package and command names, "Python" will mean "Python 3".
Users installing and running Python or Python packages without
specifying a version will get Python 3.
Running <code>python</code> will run <code>python3</code>.
Oh, man. I thought we'd decided against this in the past?
We did. Circumstances changed.
I'm worried
about the cost/benefit ratio on such a change.
What worries you do most about "the cost"?
Wouldn't this mean that when python4 is released, there is a replay of
the python2 -> python3 transition experience?
No, we keep everything called python3, we just provide the "python" name.
With python2 -> python3, one of the problems was that everything was just called
"python" before. We are not proposing to start doing that again. All packages
still need to eb called python3-foo, ale package still need to use python3-foo
dependencies and all packages still need to invoke "python3" explicitly.
If Python 4 ever happens, it's going to be a problem one way or another, this
doesn't make it nay more complicated.
