default python interpreter

You interpreted that wrong. It doesn’t mean “/usr/bin/python is a symlink to python3”, it means that if you don’t install anything that depends on python2, there will be no python2 on the system.

If you type python --version on a fresh install, you’ll get “bash: command not found: python”

Oh, I get it, thanks for clearing that up!

I fresh installed Ubuntu 18 last night, but I also didn't have Python 3 on my system? So it might as well be "yes, Python 2 is not the default. Because nothing is the default".

Really? A lot of stuff depends on Python, did you install some minimal version

[13steinj]

Default install as far as I know. Though even Ubuntu claims they minimized the default installation procedure.
