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 haven't found anything in the package itself nor on mailing lists. Probably I've missed some. You just looked at the wrong lists then - the discussion was heated :)
Maybe this was on purpose as Python2 isn't a complete replacement for Python3 (and vice versa). On the other side, I assume, not all Java runtime environments are always compatible. However, still, you can use this:
The java runtimes are supposed to be compatible. They might error out if the target version of the jar is unsupported, but the (discussed) problem with python 2 and 3 is that they might interpret the same syntax differently - and not error out, but create hidden bugs.
