And TBH, for me as a Fedora used with no special interest in Python, the
current Python versioning sucks hard. How am I supposed to tell what is the
current version just looking at e.g. the repository? Is it `python3.12` or
is it already `python3.13`? Despite I have spent with Fedora more then a
decade, answering such simple question is not trivial for me.
I guess that for the user, the easiest way is to look at the RPMs. Users
barely look into our repositories.
~~~
$ rpm -q python
package python is not installed

Why?
Because it is called python3.
$ rpm -q python3
python3-3.12.3-2.fc39.x86_64
I thought this discussion is about python3.12 vs python3.13, not about python
vs python3. I supposed the reason it is called python3 and not python is well
know at this point (but if it is not, let me know and I'll try to explain).
We are in 2024, so I suppose we could rename everything python3 to python now,
I just worry that it would be a lot of effort for not much benefit.
Even if `# dnf install python` does something, it still won't install `python`
package.
Well, it installs the python-unverisoned-command package. Which requires
python3. So it install python. Why does it matter? What are you trying to
demonstrate here? (Don't take me wrong, I always appreciate good criticism, I
juts don't understand what are you suggesting we should do.)
Do you suggest to rename python-unversioned-command to python?
Do you suggest to rename python3 to python?
Do you suggest to rename the python3.12 component to python? (As names of the
components started this discussion.)
Or is it something else?
