Given the impending end of support for Python 2 - officially less than a year now - distros have been surprisingly slow in switching to Python 3 being the default (meaning instead of having to specially ask for python3, you would have to specially ask for python2). So don't feel bad that this wasn't instantly obvious... Mint follows Ubuntu, which follows Debian (mostly) so it's not exactly the Mint folks' problem, but even they could have chosen to be proactive if they wanted to. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
