<para>
- Python 3 is now the default interpreter across all flavors of Fedora (Workstation, Server, and Cloud.)
+ Fedora 23 continues the move to Python 3 as the default python interpreter. Critical system components built using python, such as the <application>Anaconda</application> installer, the <application>dnf</application> package manager, and more have been migrated to the newer Python release.

</para>
<para>
Python 2.7 (latest Python 2 release, which we also have in Fedora) is currently in maintenance mode only, which means upstream only accepts bugfixes and security fixes, but no new features are being implemented.
Python 2.7 is the last minor release of Python 2, with upstream support until 2020. Python 3, on the other hand, is actively developed and new features are being added every release.
Moreover, there is currently no end of support date for Python 3.

- Fedora already has Python 3 stack that is parallel to Python 2 stack. There are several benefits of switching the "primary" Python stack to Python 3:

+ <para>
+ Fedora Atomic Host is an implementation of the Project Atomic pattern for a specialized operating system for the deployment of containerized applications. For the past two Fedora releases, an Atomic Host cloud image was included in the planning process as a non-blocking deliverable. However, upstream Atomic is moving very fast — by the end of the alpha, beta, final stabilization cycle Fedora uses, the released artifact is basically obsolete. Additionally, the Project Atomic team at Red Hat would like to do their ongoing development work in the Fedora upstream, and the six-month release cycle does not lend itself to that.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ After Fedora 23, Atomic will be moved away from the main Fedora 6-month distribution release schedule, and will follow a separate schedule with new releases coming every two weeks. These more frequent releases will be available at a new project website - <ulink url="atomic.fedoraproject.org" />.
