I can see the point, but then it's also a matter/responsibility of the package 
manager (or packages) to use the package manager's version of the build tools - 
especially with Python or other tools, where it's common to use isolated 
environments by changing PATH.

And I can also see that it would get into your way if you would like to use 
some special PATH by yourself.

Would it be a good practice to use /usr/bin/python in the PKGBUILD then 
explicitly?


Thanks,
