I did some research myself, and while there is not solution for all combinations of OS and python installs, it seems using python3 is the best option. It could be possible to make the build script's python executable configurable, it is not really possible for the shebangs because there is no install make target for them. So, I applied the patch, and if some thing still needs python2, they can patch it for their build. Thanks
