Comment (by collinanderson):
I expect this will become more of an issue soon when people start using
Ubuntu 16.04, which doesn't have /usr/bin/python installed by default. It
basically means Django won't work outside of a virtualenv unless you
manually change manage.py.
os.path.basename(sys.executable) seems reasonable to me.
Or, we could hard code it as python3 and and tell people to change it by
hand if they really want to start a new project using python 2. :)
Or just wait til January when we remove py2 support anyway.
