You can easily have python3 implemented as shell script setting up PYTHONPATH to whatever your particular Python installation uses. Python itself does not install as python3, so this is not a configuration supported by Python anyway. Also note that it's easy to write a sitecustomize.py which takes care of whatever platform specific side-by-side installation you want to support with an OS or distribution. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2375> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
