No, and that point will never come, but this is not a problem right now. Python 3 will be installed slotted, as an extra version, and it will not disturb the Python 2.x versions or any packages that don't work on 3.x (which are marked as such). I have this working on a bunch of boxes, and it hasn't caused me any problems so far. Cheers, Dirkjan
