and centos, still use python 2.7 as system default. Python 3.4 is
optional. Most of the system management is python 2.7. Fedora
ships with both 2.7 and 3.6<br>
<br>
Lot's of python 2 code can work in 3. But there's enough changes
that it can't be relied upon to work without modifications. <br>
<br>
New python projects should be with version 3, not 2.<br>

<pre class="k9mail">I got a question from a student who is using python. "I'd rather not
hard code in any python version. Is there any reason to have the system
default be 2 instead of 3?"
He had asked me to install the python-matplotlib package. I was like,
"Are you sure you want python-matplotlib and not python3-matplotlib?" He
is still coding in python2.7 instead of python3 but not by choice. Is
there such a thing as a system default python version? To program in
python3, doesn't he have to modify his code?
