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.
But if everything should refer to python3 explicitly, what's the
benefit of having the unversioned Python? I understand why it's better
to have python mean python3 instead of python2, but I don't understand
why it's better than not having it.
It's easier for the users, especially beginner Python developers or data scientists.
$ python
bash: python: command not found
Oh right!
$ sudo dnf install python
No match for argument: python
Error: Unable to find a match
Oh well?
Fedora is equipped with fully operational, ready to use and develop on Python
interpreter, why not let people find it?
So I might ask: What's the benefit of not having an unversioned python at all?
