It varies wildly across distributions. On *BSD, /usr/local/bin/python is often a symlink to python2. On Debian, for example, it's also handled via alternatives. I'm not that bothered at all, but we might have to provide automake support for this if it becomes too much of a problem. Or better yet, rewrite the thing in python3. -- Thomas Adam
