Python 3 is out - now what?Python 3 is out - now what?Posted Dec 11, 2008 7:43 UTC (Thu) by nlucas (subscriber, #33793)In reply to: Python 3 is out - now what? by kev009 Parent article: Python 3 is out - now what?
You haven't read the article right. Ubuntu is a "Debian OS", so it already supports multi-python versions since the 1.x/2.x times.
Fedora needs to actively work it out because it never did this in the first place.

Pushing X versions of the same packages is the easy part (as Linus often mockingly writes, "it builds, what can go wrong")
Standing for them, and helping bugs get fixed upstream is another.
Fedora has so far refused to dilute this kind of QA work between several Python versions.
BTW in case someone felt Fedora was too conservative Python-wise, major python packages such as Plone or Zope are not in Fedora because their authors still have not made the effort to port to the python versions Fedora uses.

I wasn't saying one method was better than the other. Just stating a fact.
As I don't program in Python I let that kind of decisions to those who actually know what they are doing.
