Thanks, have marked as such.

I think we have reverse perspectives on this. Why should everything
that wants to use the lxc scripts know that they're implemented with
Python, and should be either invoked via python3 with added flags, or
to expunge PYTHON vars from the environment first? It's possible to
work around this in juju, but that leaves the bug in place for
everyone else.

I've got a branch that I think implements roughly what -Es does at
<lp:~gz/juju/lxc_env_testing> that could be applied as a patch to the
package if needed.
