Please set 3.x Python as default in 14.04, currently even writing python in terminal starts 2.7

    It seems you're trying to file a bug or feature request. Please see the community bug reporting documentation. You may also want to look at How do I report a bug?. I recommend searching aggressively on Launchpad before filing a new report, as this seems like a topic of considerable interest and there may already be a report (which you could "sign on to" with the "affects me" link, and if applicable, comment w/additional useful information). Or discuss at http://discourse.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/. – Eliah Kagan Mar 28 '14 at 02:18
  • I'm running patched Ubuntu Studio 14.04 Beta 1 and the command "python --version" returns Python 2.7.6. I'm pretty sure this is what was being questioned. – Sn3akyP3t3 Apr 09 '14 at 06:02

This is not exactly an answer to your question, but a workaround, just in case you need it. python3 comes installed by default on Ubuntu 14.04. So the best way you can start python3 when you type python on the terminal is opening your ~/.bash_aliases file and typing this:

alias python='python3`

and then doing a source ~/.bash_aliases. You'll get python3 when you type python on your terminal hereon.
