Can I take that a distro allowing an installation without python-is-python3 (or just having only python2) as a sign that "transtion to 3 only" is a bit premature? > Perhaps it might help to have something like "test_have_prereq PYTHON3". Sure, but that defeats the whole notion of "python3 is everywhere, python2 is dead, and nobody should be using the 2-year dead version". "test_have_prereq PYTHON" should be sufficient in such a world, no?
