I agree the default should change.

Perhaps when launching via the command "python" the interpreter could
hint python2 was available? Something like:

$ python
Python 3.5.4rc1 (default, Jul 25 2017, 08:53:34) 
[GCC 6.4.0 20170704] on linux
Type "python2" for Python 2.7.13
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
