Your problem seems to be more that AIX' shell command line buffer is not
large enough for the glob. The usual attempt to solve such an issue is
by rewriting the above via xargs(1):
find Lib -name "*.py" -print |\
xargs %{l_shtool} subst -q \
-e 's;\+ *sys\.version\[:3\];;g' \
-e 's;\+ *get_python_version();;g'
Please try this and if this works we can apply this to the package.
