Ubuntu has released the second alpha of Ubuntu 12.10, scheduled for final release in October 2012. Notably, 12.10 will deprecate Python 2.x from the main image: "For 12.10, we intend to ship only Python 3 with the Ubuntu desktop image, not Python 2. Alpha-2 continues this process. If you have your own programs based on Python 2, fear not! Python 2 will continue to be available (as the python package) for the foreseeable future."
