Yes, I don't like the idea of having beta releases in unstable. If you
know some specific fixes/features that you would like to see in
unstable, I can try to cherry-pick them.

Also, I'm still hoping upstream will wake up and release 1.2. :)

Re: Please install /usr/bin/python2

Thanks!

The upstream recommendation (from PEP 394 [1]) is that, going forward,
portable scripts *can't* assume python is python2, and *should* use
python2.

I'm very familiar with it. 

Now we get to Arch is insane. 

They've put developers in a difficult spot.  They have to choose between 
/usr/bin/python2 and works on Arch and some newer releases and /usr/bin/python 
and works everywhere except Arch.

The only suggestion I can make is that it's generally not that hard for new 
code to make it work for both python2.7 and python3.3.  Then there's no need to 
care.

What's not included in "some newer releases" here? /usr/bin/python2 has
been present on all systems I've used except Debian.

It looks to me like the latest Centos ships with python2.6 and /usr/bin/python2 
only shipped with 2.7.
