The simple, obvious means of installing Python in Debian - either manually, or as a dependency of another package - is via the package named 'python'. At present, in current testing, doing this will pull in
I don’t think you can see it this way. For now /usr/bin/python is a link to python2 and, as was mentioned on this list, always will be until a time comes when version 2 will be so long dead that no one remembers it.
If you want version 3 you have to install python3. [stse@osgiliath]: dpkg -s python Package: python This package is a dependency package, which depends on Debian's default Python version (currently v2.7). [stse@osgiliath]: dpkg -s python3 Package: python3 This package is a dependency package, which depends on Debian's default Python 3 version (currently v3.6). As you can see both packages pull in their default version of python.Of course someone can make a transition so that python will be renamed to python2 and python3 will be renamed to python.
