That's a bit of a sore spot.

On a linux box, the initial line of the script indicates the
interpreter:

   #!/usr/bin/env python2

for Python 2.x

   #!/usr/bin/env python3

for Python 3.x.

All tutorials will tell you to start it with

   #!/usr/bin/env python

which will start python2 on all (?) existing linux distros, but is
expected to start python3 within the next decade.
