Not sure how to test that, but if I run python 2 interactively from a terminal then no completion appears to be active (although I'm not sure if something could make it work).

Given the status of Python 2 in general and on macOS in particular (there is a warning that it is only present for compatibility with legacy software) this is not very surprising. I don't think it's something we need to fix in Emacs.

Is there a reason not to apply the suggested patch to prefer `python3` to `python`?
Or put differently, why would `python-shell-interpreter` and `python-tests-get-shell-interpreter` use different preferences?
