[Python-Dev] PEP 394 request for pronouncement (python2 symlink in *nix systems) (original) (raw)

Does this need a pronouncement? Worrying about the speed of symlinks seems silly, and exactly how the links are created (hard or soft, chaining or direct) should be up to the distro; our own Makefile should create chaining symlinks just so the mechanism is clear.
