I would like to know if there is any Linux distribution where you can easily install and use Python 3. This means a distribution that will provide not only Python 3 binaries and updates but also python modules.
I know that probably we are not going to see any python 3 as the default python interpretor so soon but at least I would like to see latest 2.x as default (2.6+) one and the alternative one already installed.
Probably it is a question between major distributions: Ubuntu, Fedora or Suse?
Ubuntu 10.04 comes by default w/ Python 2.6.5, but the following python 3 packages are in the standard repositories as well:
update:
for *ubuntu 11.04 the list is (as expected) a bit longer) note that I left out the python3.1- and python3.2- prefixed packages):
UPDATE (2013-03-21):
The current version of *buntu (12.10) already has fairly many Python 3 packages available (>200; too many to list). Prominent exceptions include python3-django and python3-matplotlib (though the latter will be included in 13.04 Raring Ringtail). If you require a package not yet in the package manager but already ported, 12.10 includes both pip and easy_install for Python 3.
