PEP 394 [1] aims to document our collective recommendation for allowing shebang lines to specifically request some version of 2.x, without requiring that it be exactly 2.7 (or 2.6, etc). I'd let this drift for a while, but the imminent release of 2.7.3 makes it necessary to push for a final pronouncement. Kerrick has the necessary Makefile.pre.in patch up on the tracker [2] to add the hard link for the python2 name. We could, of course, make the recommendation to distributions without updating "make install" and "make bininstall" to follow our own advice, but that seems needlessly inconsistent.
