Sorry, but I really can't help that. I'm far from being a Python guru,
but AFAICT [1,2] the conventions I've followed in the code are correct
wrt what is recommended upstream, i.e. I expect that the "python"
executable in $PATH is a 2.x Python. As Python 3.x really is a different
language, applications using that should rely on the "python3"
executable name.

More specifically to your issue, the problem comes from the autoconf
macro I use [3] which make a similar assumption.

Even if I consider arch linux choice to be technically wrong, I'm ready
to accept patches (from others) that makes life easier on arch linux, as
long as they don't break upstream and other distros (reasonable)
assumptions.

Cheers.
