Details

python3 is installed as a standalone binary, rather than being a symlink to python3.1

Not sure if this is deliberate, but it is different to how python-config is handled

i.e. a house-keeping issue for next python release

diff shows files are identical

>> ls -l /usr/bin/pyth*

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jan 29 09:02 /usr/bin/python -> python3*
