It's strange.
Both /usr/bin/python3.6 and /usr/bin/python3.6m are executable.
They are. The exec flag is set on both, but if you check in Dolphin (and maybe others, I only use Dolphin) /usr/bin/python3.6 shows as a man page???
Well, Dolphin is wrong. cer@Telcontar:~> file /usr/bin/python3.6m /usr/bin/python3.6m: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, BuildID[sha1]=396fdc779a004e16983fd32424ac57c040c5c4b6, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, stripped cer@Telcontar:~> cer@Telcontar:~> /usr/bin/python3.6m Python 3.6.15 (default, Sep 23 2021, 15:41:43) [GCC] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
