Ubuntu 16.04 wrong default Python version
Ubuntu 16.04 made Python 3 the new standard, while Python 2 shouldn’t even be installed by default.
On my 16.04 droplet version 2.7 starts up by default, v3 is also there but it has to be called specifically.
Just wondering why DigitalOcean changed the default version back to 2.7
Is there a specific reason for this?
What makes you think they did that? What location did you create your droplet in? Did you use 32-bit or 64-bit?
Right now, the most likely answer is because you installed it yourself. The stock image does not include Python 2.
I used the standard distribution image Ubuntu 16.04 x64 for my droplet
What about the location?
