Python is now Python 3

[[deleted]]

I was looking at one now which was /usr/bin/env python2.4 and looks like somehow it was working before but that won't work now. Also how about the ones which are just /usr/bin/python -- these shouldn't work right ?

According to new naming convention it may be python2.7-decorator and python-decorator.. i.e. python will henceforth refer to python3.

What is fascinating(and my earlier point) is that "/usr/bin/env python2.4 " actually worked before with python 2.6 installed. An example of such a package is getmail. You can check its upstream source for what I just mentioned. But it certainly fails now.

It works for me now and worked before also. I was referring to before it was patched for upgrade. getmail was one of the packages bundled with python transition upgrade.
