Bug Description

This crashes when I do an update alternatives to python3.
I've changed it back to python2 and it's fine again.
Would be nice if the script were also running under python3 but I can live with it.

Thanks for the bug report.

There are still numerous packages without python3 support, so changing your default interpreter is not yet fully supported. That said I will mark this as a wishlist bug to be tracked down the road.

Thanks!
