If that software was to be packaged, in this case, you'd simply: Requires: python3 change the shebang to /path/to/my/python3
I am strongly against any proposals that involve /path/to/my/python3.
However, I believe there's a third option here. It could be as simple as providing a python3-static in addition, and NOT using `alternatives`. This way, packages and scripts that actually need the performance improvements can directly call python3-static, and everything else just continues to work as it does now.
The idea here was to speed up Python for the benefit of the entire distro, not for those who choose to use it.
If a software is written in python and the maintaioners want to speed it up, there are more explicit actions they can take.
We don't want to invest our energy into this for the couple packages that will opt in. We want to invest our energy into making all Fedora software that happens to run on Python be generally faster.
And it is completely understandable that some trade-offs are OK for somebody and not OK for somebody else. We are reading this thread and I will urge FESCo to pay special attention to the negative responses.
