I just read Andrey's mail at
https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2018/06/msg00024.html . Please
CC me if somebody replies.

Maybe it would have been better to say that right now python gives

$ python --version
Python 2.7.15

To be more precise,  I meant to know if 'Bullseye' i.e Debian 11 would
have python 3.0 as default or not.
