Package: python-is-python3 (3.9.2-1)

[ Source: what-is-python  ]

symlinks /usr/bin/python to python3

Starting with the Debian 11 (bullseye) and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (focal) releases, all python packages use explicit python3 or python2 interpreter and do not use unversioned /usr/bin/python at all. Some third-party code is now predominantly python3 based, yet may use /usr/bin/python.

This is a convenience package which ships a symlink to point the /usr/bin/python interpreter at the current default python3. It may improve compatibility with other modern systems, whilst breaking some obsolete or 3rd-party software.

No packages may declare dependencies on this package.
