snapping a set of python2 scripts from launchpad

[Daniel Manrique]

I copied your snapcraft.yaml and ran it through snapcraft 2.11 and it worked \o/

Literally the only change was fixing the weird "nam   e" thing at the beginning.

After building and installing it, both hello-debug.bash and
hello-debug.hello are available!

So "works for me" :)
