The time will come when even Python 2.7 is long obsolete. I think it is silly to insist that people invoke python3 to run their Python 3.7 scripts. Arch might be jumping the gun a little, or even a lot, but sooner or later it should be done. Besides, this is another sign that the Python 3 haters are wrong. We now have a distro that has made Python 3 the standard system python. It might be a bleeding-edge distro not recommended for non-experts, but it's still pretty cool that *somebody* has done it. > IMO, moving away from that consensus should've been brought up on > python-dev rather than just one distro just doing it all alone, > causing incompatibilities and annoyance. We're all adults here. If Arch wants to live on the bleeding edge, more power to them. That's why my server runs Centos :) -- Steven
