Enforce using `python3` instead of `python` #32761

Open adeebshihadeh opened 3 weeks ago

adeebshihadeh commented 3 weeks ago

I'm trying out 24.04 where we want to be able to use the system python, but I'm hitting this:

adeeb:~$ python
Command 'python' not found, did you mean:
  command 'python3' from deb python3
  command 'python' from deb python-is-python3

What do other projects do?

Looks like they opted out of including use/bin/python in 24.04

We could include a step in the setup to do some kind of aliasing

That's not the problem here. AFAIK python is always supposed to be python2 (or at least ambiguous) and python3 should be preferred. We used pyenv to make python always refer to our python install, however we want to drop the need for pyenv soon.

Installing python-is-python3 package might solve your issue. sudo apt install python-is-python3

The package includes a symbolic link that directs the /usr/bin/python interpreter to the current default python3 version.
