I have been running python and python3 packages side by side on Fedora ever since python 3 came out. I'm sure all bigger distros have this taken care of in a similar way... I was curious so I took a look:
- Debian has 2.x as 'python' and 3.x as 'python3' - Fedora has 2.x as 'python' and 3.x as 'python3' - Ubuntu has 2.x as 'python' and 3.x as 'python3' - OpenSUSE has 2x as 'python' and 3.x as 'python3' - Arch has 2.x as 'python2' and 3.x as 'python' (!).
