We will not support python2.X sometime in the future. Upstream will not support Python 2.X as well... and you want to force an administrator who has a service using Python 2.X with lots of scripts with /usr/bin/python shebang to do additional work? Come on, this guy has to fix security bugs in an ancient software, rebuild python2.X package by himself, he already has A LOT OF WORK, leave him/her alone! ;-P [...] > Do you ever foresee a time when /usr/bin/python gives you Python 3 on Debian? to be honest... no either use /usr/bin/python3, /usr/bin/python4 or use Arch -- Piotr Ożarowski Debian GNU/Linux Developer www.ozarowski.pl www.griffith.cc www.debian.org GPG Fingerprint: 1D2F A898 58DA AF62 1786 2DF7 AEF6 F1A2 A745 7645
