https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/ recommends that the python
name be used for python2, but notes that some distributions have
switched it to point to python3. So the suggestion is that python2-only
scripts should have an explicit python2 shebang, and only scripts that
support both should have the python shebang.
