Hello! It is common to have both python-2 and python-3 packages installed. To help transition it is convenient to have bin/python to point to python-2 binary. Now for every X in python3X we have a bin/python3.X binary. So for every new python3.X release one should change shebang line in scripts. I propose to tweak python3X ports so they create bin/python3 symlink pointing to the installed python3.X binary so that people can always use 'python3' name. What do you think? Thanks!
