Hi,

I'm wondering, why the python packages for version 2 and 3 don't use the update-alternatives script.

Any reason for this?

I believe there are a number of packages that just reference "/usr/bin/python", which such a change would break. There's a long discussion about changing default Python version to Python 3 here: https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2017-06/msg00743.html

Bug? Feature? Design decision? Hope someone can enlighten me. :))

Thanks!
