On Arch, /usr/bin/python is python3 while /usr/bin/python2 is (obviously) python2.

I believe Arch was the first distro to make Python3 the default.

Most PKGBUILDs (which are like ebuilds in Gentoo, ie: build scripts for packages), will use a 'sed' command to replace python with python2.

I ended up changing my own build script, so that the CMakelists.txt for both CCSM and compizconfig-python both will read COMMAND python2 instead of COMMAND python ...

as for it being invalid in python3, that is the impression that i get. but i am no expert ;)
