[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

Python 2 reached EOL about a year ago thus the 'python' command may be
missing on some systems.
'python3' is the standard way of invoking the Python 3 interpreter,
thus Emacs would have a better chance trying that.

The attached patch is already carried in Ubuntu.

Cheers,
Balint
