The following link are not provided anymore. /usr/bin/idle /usr/bin/pydoc The python3 package will pull python38 package. Rationale: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/ In other systems as Debian /usr/bin/python is discouraged. As on Cygwin we have still several third packages depending on python2, the usage of alternatives should allow to manage until all are updated to python3 DESCRIPTION Python is a programming language that lets you work quickly and integrate systems more effectively. Python is powerful... and fast; plays well with others; runs everywhere; is friendly & easy to learn; is Open.
