I'm very familiar with it. 

Now we get to Arch is insane. 

They've put developers in a difficult spot.  They have to choose between /usr/bin/python2 and works on Arch and some newer releases and /usr/bin/python and works everywhere except Arch.

The only suggestion I can make is that it's generally not that hard for new code to make it work for both python2.7 and python3.3.  Then there's no need to care.
