We did a similar thing with Ruby in Fedora, it's called Rubypick [1]. Is that a direction worth pursuing? Also, what is actually result of this thread? AFAICS the PEP still hasn't changed. IMO when there's only python3 installed, there should be no /usr/bin/python, which also seems to be aligned with what Guido says. Would it be possible to update the PEP accordingly?
