Is there a good reason to ever switch python to python3? The option of just not switching at all has never come up. At some point we would need to move everything over, but why not continue to call it python3?
I would support this idea. The amount of time needed for the transition (python->python2,python3->python) is later on needed for further incompatible upgrades of python. Just think about python4 :-). I guess this is a common problem in naming packages for major releases. Two years ago I wished they would have had decided to use 'kde4' instead of 'kde' although it might take some time until kde5 is out. Matthias
