Thread: Removing "plpythonu" in PG 15
I see we removed "plpythonu" when we removed "plpython2u" in PG 15. Is there a good reason for that? We don't have the software version number in other server-side language names, as far as I know. We added "plpython2u" when we were adding "plpython3u", but now that we have removed "plpython2u", why not just use "plpythonu"? Do we need to remove "plpythonu" for a while until everyone has upgraded? -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> https://momjian.us EDB https://enterprisedb.com Indecision is a decision.

There was extensive discussion of that in the relevant threads,
but basically (1) risk of confusion and (2) most python installations
have removed "python", not redefined it to mean "python3".
