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, Daniel.
