It should be expected that many users will keep both 2.x and 3 side by
side for quite a long time. Instead of having distributions choosing
their own naming schemes (like the python/python2 redhat fiasco)
perhaps the Python 3 executable should have a different name as part
of the standard distribution? I suggest "py" / "py.exe"
