Fedora Linux will switch to Python 3 by default
Ok, so I'll state the obvious - it took almost 6 years from release of python 3.0.0 (2008-12-03)[1] till fedora adopting it. And I thought that cheap PHP hosts takes long time to upgrade PHP version.<p>Can someone with knowledge of python ecosystem explain what took a major distro so long, given that you could run different versions of python in parallel (or couldn't you?) for some of big pro software that needs the old version?
