Sorry for taking so long to get round to this. Replacing `virtualenv`
with `virtualenv2`, `pip` with `pip2` &c got everything working. Also,
thanks to whoever added activate.fish.

Hi everyone! I hope I'm posting to the right place.
Arch Linux's `python` is Python 3, but BH requires Python 2. What's
the best way to make BH use `python2`, preferably without changing
the Python version for the whole OS?
Hey, good to see you here again!
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/python gives a fair bit of
information. In particular, once installed, when you want to run a
script with python2 you will need to specify it because the default
for the python command will be python3 (which is sensible as that way
it shouldn't break Arch's scripts.)
If you want to use a virtualenv, you may find that you can create it
with the -p python2 option but the wiki page above seems to suggest
installing python2-virtualenv will give you a virtualenv2 which
assumes python2 as the default.
Admittedly, none of this has been checked by me yet as I don't run Arch!
Cheers,
Gary
