Subject: bug#30556: Python tests should run with multiple python versions

The test suite applies its tests only with the ‘python’ executable which
is an issue since on most systems it corresponds to ‘python2’, and for
systems having only ‘python3’ the tests are simply skipped.

Moreover, when ‘python’ corresponds to ‘python3’ as it is the case on
distributions not following PEP394 [1] like Arch Linux, the test suite
fails (See attached log).
