Python should default to python3 when not using conda??

Open umesh-timalsina opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Currently, when not using conda, start.js grabs system python. Should this be default to python3 instead of python? Because in most linux distros, python still symlinks to python2.7.

$ python
Python 2.7.17 (default, Nov  7 2019, 10:07:09) 
[GCC 7.4.0] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Yeah, this is probably a good idea. I get spoiled with bleeding edge distros ;) Regardless, the python3 alias won't cause any issues on these distros either so it is probably a good idea.
