As the target OS are all of Linux type, a python link will always be
available at /usr/bin/python.
As for the time being we want to enforce python2, I will propose to
replace all the call to /usr/bin/env by a direct call to python.

Remains to decide if we call directly python2 or just python.
For me enforcing python2 by the OBS build system is easy (a simple
"prefer: python2" statement in "project config" , so I would be happy to
not enforce the pythin release on a per packet basis, but the people
working on Pythin3 support may have a different opinion that I would
like to know.

Thanks.
