Re: bin/pip3.12 or bin/pip-3.12

Hi,

getting back to the point before freeze of the next branch, can I
convince you (whoever is concerned) that I may apply the change to
revert the renaming, as it deviates from $EVERYONE_ELSE for the pythons?

Discussion about rules how we'd like things in an ideal world don't
apply to this world where there is a naming scheme in place everywhere
else where distros install python. Just break that to be more pretty?
Please no.

To remind, this legacy naming scheme applies to

python$PYVERSUFFIX
python$PYVERSUFFIX-config
pip$PYVERSUFFIX
pydoc$PYVERSUFFIX

Those should stay as-is, unless there comes a change from upstream with
a consistent scheme from some python version on.

Update: I now also see that with lang/python312 there also is

bin/idle$PYVERSUFFIX

which is a astonishingly short-sighted addition in 2025, with such a
generic name. How should one know that relates to python? Or is this
just appearing due to pkgsrc packaging? Anyhow, unrelated to my
proposed patch, which still is this (hacked a bit to adapt to update to
pip in the meantime, if I missed something I'll fix it of course,
it's about the intent):

OK to apply now, please?
