I think this PEP give convention between distro and python developers to have portable scripts. Our part is to provide python2* and python3* symlinks. The dev parts is to use correct sheebang is there scripts (or better, let installer define it). The main message in this PEP to developper is DO_NOT_USE python it can refer to python 2.x or python 3.x. We can thanks this PEP to legitimate what archlinux is doing (promoting the future of python). Let user choose if his python is symlinked to python2 or python3 will not fix a day to day use of python2 and python3 scripts which doesn't respect this PEP and increase the current mess. About packages we fix by a sexy sed line, we can stay to our official /usr/bin/python interpreter as we do for each packages. -- Sébastien "Seblu" Luttringer www.seblu.net
