Comment (by mascguy):

 Replying to [comment:17 kencu]:
 > given that there are a gazillion places in glib2 where python, python3,
 and perhaps python2 are used, and keeping up with all the locations is
 very very tedious and fragile, it's pretty tempting to just throw some
 symlinks to the desired python named python, python2, and python3 in a
 folder and just set the PATH to find those first.

 That's a really good idea, never considered that approach before. And boy
 would it simplify things!

 So I'll add that to my list. Thanks Ken!
