"Python2.6 as default"
 

I noticed that this is still listed at http://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals.

Obviously that was a Squeeze goal. The equivalent goal for Wheezy should be
python2.7 as default and python2.5 and python2.6 removed.

Sure. Please feel free to fix that.

Is it out of the question to target python3.x as the default? wheezy's
release is still 2 years away, so there's a lot of time to fix potential
complications.

Best wishes,

We've treated python and python3 as separate runtime environments. We also
have a default python3 (just in the middle of transitioning to 3.2). The only
meaningful change that would make python3 the 'default python' is if we
pointed /usr/bin/python at it. It is definitely premature to do that. If we
ever contemplate such a change is will be several releases from now.
