This is a followup to a thread with subject "[PATCH] doc: Various fixes
to makedocbook for python3.8" that began on the newlib list and then
moved to
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-apps/2020-August/040442.html,
where it evolved into a discussion of moving from python2 to python3. A
recent post on the cygwin list reminded me that we never finished that
discussion. We left it with the question of what to do about scripts
with a shebang that names python but might not work with python3.
With python2 reaching EOL in a month, it seems that we ought to finish
that discussion and make the move.

working slowing on it
I plan to use alternatives for both python and python3,
so that by default they will both point to latest python 3.x installed,
but you could use alternatives to reverse to any version
probably I will release a test version of all
python-2.18
python-3.6
python-3.7
python-3.8
before going in full
