I just translated a string that starts "If you use Python 3 you need to - -". But support for Python 2.x ended at the beginning of 2020. So, should the default also be changed in LimeSurvey?
I wouldn't change that. Python 2.7.18 was the last release, but might be still in use in setups. The LimeSurvey info makes clear, what to do when Python 3 is used. Which is still valid.
I thought you're only talking about the wording.
You want to change a function so that the user has to not do anything when using Python 3? If that is the case, please open a bugticket.
I would second your idea, that the default behaviour technically supports the mainstream version of third party software.

Sounds reasonable to me. But I guess the fear is, that it would break both, Python 2.x and 3.x third party applications, as for Python 2.x "it was always this way" and for Python 3.x the users have adapted to the workaround as well and changing it will probably break everything.
Nevertheless, it would make sense, at least for the next major release (LS 6 I guess). The current default version of Python should be the default for Limesurvey.
