We've treated python and python3 as separate runtime environments. We also
have a default python3 (just in the middle of transitioning to 3.2). The only
meaningful change that would make python3 the 'default python' is if we
pointed /usr/bin/python at it. It is definitely premature to do that. If we
ever contemplate such a change is will be several releases from now.
