I am not aware of any Linux distro for which Python 3 is the default.
You have to explicitly install it. Python 2.6, which is the latest
version prior to 3, will be supported for many years before we have to
worry about porting code to Python 3. At the moment, Python 3 is a
non-event for me at the moment.
