    No, please use better shebang, like #!/usr/bin/env python2 - so you don't force me to use the wrong interpreter path in my virtualenv. And then you hit that old ubuntu distribution user that didn't have those major version symlinks yet.

    Right move Ubuntu.

    For everyone else - python2 still be available in repos and easily installable. But developers need to use /usr/bin/python2 or /usr/bin/python3 to specify what exactly python version it needs.

    If you are a python developer please !!!!! use proper versioned shebang #!/usr/bin/pythonX

    Centers are not popular anymore it seems
