Where this is possible, that is an excellent idea. Alas, too many (Linux) developers insist on using the system Python as their application language. In most cases they could trivially run "aptitude install python3" and be done with it, but that's an extra dependency and therefore Bad. Red Hat, Debian and Ubuntu are all planning to move to Python 3 Real Soon Now, and I expect that will give Py3 some more impetus. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
