We can install the "python" package that adds a symlink from python2 to python. My main issues with this approach is: * Some of our scripts don't work with python3 * Python2.7 will be around for a long time (and was recently forked) So when the build breakage came up I preferred to be honest and say it is a python2 script. holger
