Starting with the Debian 11 (bullseye) and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (focal)
releases, all python packages use explicit python3 or python2
interpreter and do not use unversioned /usr/bin/python at all. Some
third-party code may still be python2 based, yet may use
/usr/bin/python.
.
This is a convenience package which ships a symlink to point
/usr/bin/python interpreter at the current default python2. It may
improve compatibility with obsolete 3rd-party software, whilst
breaking some modern software.
.
This package will be installed upon upgrades to Debian 11 (bullseye)
and Ubuntu 20.04, if the DEPRECATED python2 was installed.
.
python2 is DEPRECATED and will not be provided in future Debian and
Ubuntu releases. It is recommended to remove python2 and this package
after ensuring that only python3 is in use.
.
No packages may declare dependencies on this package, or recommend
that package.
