[$] Revisiting PEP 394
Wednesday February 27, 2019. 06:02 PM , from LWN.net
With the uptake of Python 3 (and the imminent end of life for
Python 2.7), there is a question of which version of Python a user should get when they type 'python' at the command line or have it as part of a shebang ('#!') line in a script. Back in 2011, PEP 394 ('The 'python' Command on Unix-Like Systems') was created as an informational PEP that relayed the recommendations of the Python core developers to Linux distributions and others in a similar position about which version to point python to. Now, Petr Viktorin, one of the authors of the PEP, would like to revisit those recommendations, which is something that is suggested in the PEP itself.
