Or the distributions didn't bite the bullet when it was first extracted
from their foot :-)
The fedora/RH/CentOS world has millions of lines of python2 which the OS
can't
really get started or installed without. In the meantime python came and
went as a major
web-scripting tool, new features were added, OO inheritance was corrected
:-) now we
have PEPs from the BFD adding back the data-typing that the language
initially rejected....  :-)
In other words, evolution took place.
