+ == /usr/bin/python is now a separate package

+ 

+ The unversioned [command]#python# command from [filename]`/usr/bin/python` has been moved into a separate [package]`python-unversioned-command` package.

+ You will get it by default when you install the [package]`python2` package, but you are able to remove it.

+ 

+ Use the [command]`python3` command if you need Python 3, and the [command]`python2` command if you need Python 2.

+ The [command]`python` command continues to mean Python 2, but it is not guaranteed to be present.

+ 

+ See the link:++https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Move_usr_bin_python_into_separate_package++[Change page] for detailed information and justification for this change.

  == Ansible now uses Python3 by default

  

  The `ansible` package in Fedora is switching to use *Python 3* by default, instead of *Python 2*. See xref:fedora:sysadmin-guide:sysadmin/Automation.adoc[Automation] for details.
