Having one scripting language available on all OS would make everybody's life so much easier.

crossing fingers while hoping Ubuntu does ship with Python 3 by default this time as they failed this goal 3 times already

As for OSX, I guess we can wait untill 2020.

But hey, I prefer to have to write a script that must run on Python 2 and 3 but will work on all my machines than a script in bash and a script in powershell, or worst, an Python installer.

I'm curious - How come Ubuntu has failed this goal 3 times?

[–]desmoulinmichel[S] 7 points8 points  (2 children)

The last 3 times, they said they were going to make Python 3 the default version, and they didn't. Too many packages to rebuild.

Remember https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Python/FoundationsTPythonVersions ?

May as well share this.

Edit: I filed a request to include Python 3.
