[Bug 1860929] Re: Should include a /usr/bin/python symlink unless..

[Mark Foster]

Is this a written policy / guidance or just something you came up with
on the fly?

https://blogs.gnome.org/mcatanzaro/2018/02/16/on-python-shebangs/ has a
good discussion of this issue and even suggests using python2.7 (as
opposed to python2)
