One can override this to the path for the Python 3 package, but both feels wrong to me. Even if we drop Python 2 at some point, maybe then there is Python 4 or PyPy. I tend to stay with the traditional path, and ignore the preference of our beloved policy. Not without first consulting this very mailing list, of course. Opinions? TIA & Cheers
