Comment (by Sebastian Huber):

 openSUSE 15.2 installs Python 3 by default and Python 2 is **not**
 available by default. There is no "python" command by default, only
 "python3".

 I think we should ask the waf community how they want to deal with this.

 About a year ago I started a discussion about "Which Python version for
 new tool code?". It seems RHEL 7 was the only relevant distribution not
 providing a Python 3, but this changed during the discussion:

 CentOS 7.7 ships it also. Is there anything left which doesn't ship Python
 3? If not, then why don't we change the shebang to `#!/usr/bin/env
 python3`?
