The policy for Python in Debian requires that “/usr/bin/python’ is the default Python 2 interpreter, and ‘/usr/bin/python3’ is the default Python 3 interpreter. There is no “default Python interpreter” in Debian. Python 2 and Python 3 are incompatible run-time systems. > I would prefer [the ‘/usr/bin/python’ interpreter] to be Python 3.4. That would violate Debian Python policy. You are free to do it on your own system, but it will likely break many Python packages on Debian, and you get to keep all the pieces :-) -- \ “Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do | `\ so too.” —Voltaire, _Essay On Tolerance_ | _o__) | Ben Finney
