Hello!

It is common to have both python-2 and python-3 packages installed.
To help transition it is convenient to have bin/python to point to
python-2 binary.

Now for every X in python3X we have a bin/python3.X binary.

So for every new python3.X release one should change shebang line in
scripts.

I propose to tweak python3X ports so they create bin/python3 symlink
pointing to the installed python3.X binary so that people can always use
'python3' name.

What do you think?

I think it's a great idea, at least minimising weird breakage when python
is updated.

Have you a patch?  Also, what do other OSes do?



I don't have a patch but I can make one if you like.
I don't use other OSes so I have no idea what do they do with that problem and I don't see any reason why should we bother...
