So why perpetuate a >pattern that's not future-proof (for some values of "proof")? Because it's not about what some python code expects, it about what the human being using Fedora expects. Nobody trying to compile a C program expects to have to use gcc9, they just expect to type in gcc. Similarly someone sitting down to use a tutorial to learn Python is going to expect to type python and get something they can use, particularly going forward when Python3 really just become Python as Python2 fades from memory. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
