I suggest an explicitly and permanently different name for the interpreter executable of this new and incompatible branch of the language. I want Python 3 scripts starting with #! to have an average shelf life longer than 18 months.
That makes sense, but I'd prefer something less arbitrary than just chopping the name back from "python" to "py". Going that way, Python 4.0 is going to just be called "p", and by the time we get to Python 5.0, the name will have vanished altogether!
