I also object to /usr/bin/python3 deprecation. The astonishing amount of
scripts, random utils and stuff I saw running on Debian in the wild (random
open source projects, libraries, corporate scripts, etc) is unlikely to change
very fast. In fact, it was considered good practice to shebang /usr/
Ubuntu as an example has not shipped /usr/bin/python as Python 3 because Python
2 still can be installed. Only when python-is-python3 is installed (not a
default) it does that.
I'm against deprecation as well because I think the assumption here is wrong
that 'most distributions ship python as

Concretely, I think it means:

Hi,
I am against deprecating python3 ... it is used a bit everywhere and
every `venv` provides both python and python3.
What will occur when python4 arrives ?
Cheers,

If possible, please make the transition to be smooth
(i.e. not another gcc-15 or CMake 4).
Thanks.
Hi!
Debian has shipped Python 3 as /usr/bin/python3 for a while now. For
some time, we've also shipped a python-is-python3 package that ships a
symlink from /usr/bin/python to /usr/bin/python as well, but it's not
installed by default.
I'm assuming that most distributions outside of Debian, at th
