I just think it's old distros. I don't think they've done anything special to mangle the default installs. Some scripts might have depended on something in older Pythons (file path or something maybe) and when Python is upgraded some OS scripts break (no mention of what breaks but I assume he's not joking). > I'm glad Arch finally (are they the first?) switched over, it might > make me start using python3, plus, it forces script and package > authors to explicitly state they're relying on python2.
