Provide a python3 link

akiross opened this issue · comments

Hello,
I noticed that pypy3.6 is providing a python symlink to pypy3.6, but there are no python3 and python3.6 symlinks. Is this the desired behavior?

I come to ask after installing pypy3.6-7.1.1 using pyenv (see this issue), which will not update the python3 executable since none is provided by portable-pypy. In this way, if I want to set pypy as the default version, the python and python3 commands will refer to two different implementations.

Therefore I think it would be better to provide the python3 symlink as well, if this is compliant with PEP-394 (as I think it is).

This sounds reasonable. I will try to provide this next time a PyPy release is being built.

This was fixed in 3.6-7.2
