Why are you assuming the worst possible intent on my part, instead of asking what I meant?
I meant the distros have Python 3 available, not that they make it the default that /usr/bin/python points to. Ubuntu has had Python 3 available for quite a number of releases; I run 12.04 which has Python 3.2 (and I've had it installed since I installed Ubuntu). According to the release notes[1], Ubuntu 14.04 makes Python 3.4 available, and work is ongoing to make it the default Python for Ubuntu. They also advise porting to Python 3.
It looks like CentOS makes Python 3.2 available, but I can't be sure from their online documentation.
But I also didn't say you are spreading lies maliciously. You can spread them unknowingly via mis-communication.
I could post something like "Large parts of the Linux kernel are written in C++". And it would be spreading lies. But it could be just be me being confused as well or thinking that a C++ compiler will compile C and that C is a largely a subset of C++.
> I also didn't say you are spreading lies maliciously
My objection wasn't that you imputed malice; it was that you went straight to "spreading lies" instead of expressing uncertainty about what I meant. And you were wrong about what I meant.
> You can spread them unknowingly via mis-communication.
Which, since you were wrong about what I meant, is what you did when you said I was "spreading lies".
