Python2 is also installed by default, and importantly, /usr/bin/python is
still a symlink to python2.7

Well...for starters, web2py, fabric and pil are 2.7. So, yes, I think it is an
absolutely, insanely user-hostile decision. The python ecosystem is not even
close to ready to move to 3. And from what I can tell, 3 offers minimal
benefits.

I have been running python and python3 packages side by side on Fedora ever
since python 3 came out. I'm sure all bigger distros have this taken care
of in a similar way... I was curious so I took a look:
- Debian has 2.x as 'python' and 3.x as 'python3'
- Fedora has 2.x as 'python' and 3.x as
yes. everybody is doing this right but Arch. python3 has to be available
but has to treated as a different language.

I see lots of mentions to Python 2.7 in the manifest of the desktop edition
of Ubuntu 12.10 (beta):
libpython2.72.7.3-5ubuntu1
python 2.7.3-0ubuntu5
python2.7 2.7.3-5ubuntu1
python2.7-minimal
If its so easy to install 2.7, why so insane? People have to start moving at
some point. I understand a lot of people don't support it yet because they
don't think the new features are worth it yet.but its really easy to setup a

FYI: Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal says bye bye to Python 2. Take note if
you run web2py and intend to use 12.10. I am not sure if there are ways to
get Python 2 installed though.
For 12.10, we intend to ship only Python 3 with the Ubuntu desktop image,
not Python 2. Beta-1 continues this
