Great to hear that you guys talked about it. Just a quick note that PEP 394 discussions have revived, lead by the Fedora folks. Please do check out the new thread, especially if you have opinions about what /usr/bin/python should do once Python 2.7 is EOL. https://mail.python.org/pipermail/linux-sig/2017-August/thread.html Cheers, -Barry
