Worth noting that it is best to leave the default, python, as pointing to
2.7.

I believe Ubuntu has removed all dependencies on 2.x now (from memory,
can't remember source so correct me if I'm wrong), which would suggest to
me that Debian has done the same. But some systems will still be reliant on
it.

Then there is also this PEP:
