Description Colin Walters 2012-11-05 22:16:34 UTC 
This hack allows all GNOME modules to use "python2" to find Python 2.

Thanks for this! I consider the lack of /usr/bin/python2 a major bug, under the light of PEP-394 which ruined the reliability of /usr/bin/python. I asked our Python maintainers about this, but until then this is a nice hack.
