FWIW, note that sed substitutions would fail without causing an error.

I would not worry much about inserting an unexpanded '#!%{__python2})' into the
script, because that would break the shebang and result in an unresolvable
auto-dependency in the package. It would only be bad, if nobody would notice
that in the built packages. And if %__python2 were undefined, the %check
section would fail as it also uses %__python.

However:

Generally, when using sed substitutions, it is a good recommendation to add
guards to the spec file, which protect against sed failing to match. Either
before or after running sed. While applying a patch file would error out, if it
doesn't apply anymore, a failing sed match would cause the substitution not to
be applied. In this particular case, if the script contained anything different
from '#!/usr/bin/python\b' in line 1, e.g. /usr/bin/env something, it would not
be substituted. A guard would run "grep" on the file and ensure that the sed
match will be successful, e.g. an explicit "grep -m 1 '^#!/usr/bin/python\b' ||
exit -1" would add safety for this particular case.
