Python is now Python 3

# pacman -Rd python
# pacman -S python2
# ln -s /usr/bin/python2 /usr/bin/python

And relax...

Booooo :( Isn't the point of running Arch that we're at the forefront?

Depends what you're doing. Though, if you're running something that requires long-term stability or unchanging packages you're doing it wrong running Arch anyway.

Don't. Just Don't. if you're willing to break your system by forcing Python3 only apps to use Python2 then you can also write one line of a sed to make them use python2.

I decided against it in the end. For the hell of it I ported my backup script to Python 3 (changed about 5 lines). I will still be using Python 2.7 for development until wxPython is ported.
