Feature #842994
autogen.sh to work when 'python' is not available but 'python3' is
0%
Description
Debian based distributions are no longer installing python2 by default. It has been providing /usr/bin/python whereas python3 provides /usr/bin/python3. We should not require 'python' that is synonymous for python2, but should accept also python3.

Then again autogen.sh check is there to make sure our python scripts will run when needed, and despite the fact that the scripts are python2/python3 agnostic, their shebang is #!/bin/python so in a way we do depend on python2.
A proper solution probably won't happen before 2.6.2.

Attached patches just require python3 in S3_0/master. There's no solution for S2_6 yet.

master/S3_0 pushed, S2_6 remains open.

Existing msys1 and msys2 environments for S2_6 have python3 available. Python2 is soon going completely EOL. At this point I'm for simply applying S3_0 patch to S2_6 too.
