anyone have any thoughts on this
@hbdgaf huh, don't you usually just type python3, and what would that alias do for changing the install version?
if the installer inspected the "run name" that launched it then checked usr/bin/env for the appropriate launcher - you could wind up with a problem. the user hasn't tried using python3 explicitly yet...
@Mateo you're SUPPOSED to just type python3. aliasing is something that arch does that the pep tells you not to do. so, it doesn't sound like a proper ubuntu question.
yeah, because just python already exists so...
The theory is to use 'python' when it's python 2 and 'python3' when it's 3.x for clarity. Evidently some people disagree on sanity.
that is what I was always doing

That's what everyone except archlinux is doing...
So, you see where I hit a no support wall?
