Python 3 is out - now what?

Parent article: Python 3 is out - now what?

Ubuntu 8.10 released with a beta of Python 3 available in the archive (as has Debian):

apt-get install python3

Ubuntu 9.04 (currently in development) will almost certainly have 3.0.x

It's completely parallel installable, and modules can be found in the python3-* packages.

No need for any migration flag days.

Right, but there will be a flag day to make python3 become /usr/bin/python, I bet.

Err, Debian doesn't have python3 at all:
