It's the other way around, in all systems I've found. python3 (or python3.x) is the actual executable, with python being a symlink to, usually, python 2.

Sorry, typo. I meant to say `python` is a symlink to the default Python (you can sometimes change the default Python), but it'll almost always exist and point to a valid interpreter.
