We can also check for a python 1.x
I am not a python guru but being to be one. I never saw a python 1.x the last
eight years. I don't know if the current python ipkg scripts can deal with
python 1.x
There exists also a m4 script to check the MAJOR version of python but I see no
m4 directory in ptxdist. I used SED for this which is already checked. And YES
I don't know why but python sends the version string on stderr that's why I add
a redirection from stdout to stderr "2>&1" there.
