Exactly this.

People build node.js on a variety of platforms.  /usr/bin/python is
sometimes a python 2.4 (or sometimes even 2.3 - old RHEL/CentOS
systems), on others it's python 3 (Arch).

Some of the BSDs don't have a /usr/bin/python at all, the binary is
always called python2.6 or python2.7.

On a side note, the suggestion to symlink is kind of blech. It also
doesn't work unless you're root.
