Considering the upstream recommendation that we not make /usr/bin/python point to python3 that others have brought up, let me make an alternative proposal:

Step 1 (these can all be done roughly simultaneously):

While I appreciate that you're trying to accomodate all issues raised in this thread at the end your proposal still leads to /usr/bin/python pointing to python3. I'm really concerned that scripts which are not tested for Python 3 are getting started under Python 3. Based on subtle differences the script might partially work but not fully function. This could even lead to subtle security issues. I'd strongly vote for /usr/bin/python not being present on systems without Python 2.x. Ciao, Michael.
