#11376: Remove the hardcoding of python version in setup.py and SConstruct to
build
sage_clib and sage itself

---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
Currently to build sage (the spkg) four files are involved in major way:
1. SConstuct to build sage-clib
1. setup.py
1. module_list.py
1. sage/misc/cython.py
The last three to build the sage python extensions. setup.py, and
SConstruct both have the version of python used hardcoded in them,
module_list.py doesn't refer to the python version anywhere. cython.py
mention the python version explicitly in doctest but smartly find the
version used for building all by itself.
In this ticket I bring this smartness to SConstruct and setup.py. The
advantage of doing this is that sage then can be build with either
python-2.6 or 2.7 (and 3.x in the future) without patching. Of course it
may still require patches to fix doctest and syntax in some parts - but
you would be able to build sage in the first place without having to patch
the build system. It has been found to be an impediment to testing in
#9958.
