You get both python2.7 and python3.4 with the default desktop install of
devuan beta. I guess the default version would be the one that
/usr/bin/python points to, which is currently 2.7.

$ ls -l /usr/bin/python*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       9 Mar 16  2015 /usr/bin/python -> python2.7

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3785928 Mar  1  2015 /usr/bin/python2.7
