Not in this case. Trying to make lilypond-book look at python 3 instead of the packaged python 2.4 requires manually editing installed files that nobody should ever edit. There's no problem with having python 3.x installed globally; the lilypond-book that comes in GUB should look at the python 2.4 we distribute by default.
