Originally, Python was used for Sage setup as a convenient tool, more powerful and easier to use than bash etc. At some point, while Sage switched to by python3 only, it was still possible to use python2 for setup (during the transition years many distros lagged behind in python3 adoption). But this is all history, so we can rely on the distros-provided python3. Dima -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
