Comment 2 for bug 763164

Hi,

I'm thinking this should be a distro-specific change for now. Most of the other distributions still use python 2.x as a default and unfortunately, not all of them have the python2 symlink (for example Ubuntu Natty). This change would also probably break things on Mac and Windows platforms.

In longer term, I will certainly simply port my scripts to python3 (when most distribution make the change due to the lack of backward compatibility).
