No. We'd like to keep it the way that everything in Fedora either uses
/usr/bin/python3 or /usr/bin/python2. To keep the possibility for the
sysadmins to change /usr/bin/python to whatever crazy target they want.
This looks like a trend: sqlite started doing this and now python :). I
dislike being forced to specify versions after I've been on my best
behavior and made sure that my tools work with up-to-date software. If
python3 is becoming the default python interpreter, what exactly is the
argument for NOT providing an alias 'python' that runs python3?
In case of sqlite they even kept the alias that still points to sqlite2:
$ sqlite
bash: sqlite: command not found...
Install package 'sqlite2' to provide command 'sqlite'? [N/y]
You can of course override it by something like
ln -sf /bin/sqlite3 ~/bin/sqlite
but it seems like a bad practice given that it conflicts with the sqlite
v2 package. Come to think of it, this should be reported:
