With the uptake of Python 3 (and the imminent end of life forPython 2.7), there is a question ofwhich version of Python a user should get when they type "python"at the command line or have it as part of a shebang("#!") line in a script. Back in 2011, PEP 394 ("The'python' Command on Unix-Like Systems") was created as an informational PEPthat relayed the recommendations of the Python core developers to Linuxdistributions and others in a similar position about which versionto point python to.
