Hi,

as of the just finished britney run, the /usr/bin/python symlink points
to python2.7 in wheezy.

In this process, a number of packages had to be removed from testing to
avoid more waiting time and complications. They should be able to
migrate back quickly on their own, but if you maintain one of those
packages and need help, please feel free to contact the release team.
Likewise if you discover that your package is incompatible with the new
python version and you want to get a fix into testing ASAP.

Cheers,
Julien

Cool!

Not for squeeze (as I discussed recently), but it is nice to hear that
we don't have the same "no python 2.7" issue in wheezy, but even have it
as default then.

Considering that it'll take a while until wheezy gets stable, I hope
there is also a python 3.x (x=rather latest) then, so that projects can
do a python3 migration without running into basic issues then.

So thanks to everybody who is involved in the effort.

It's probably worth reiterating that python and python3 are separate runtime
systems in Debian (and pointing /usr/bin/python at some python3 version is not
contemplated).

Like python2.7 is the default python, python3.2 is the default python3.

3.2 is already there.
