Bug Description

When running the configure script on Archlinux, it fails due to python binary filename changes (python points to python3 and and python2 points, well, to python2). Attached is a patch that corrects this by looking for python2 if python isn't found (which doesn't handle the case with python3 installed).

If this fix is necessary and needed, I can improve it to look for a certain version of python. The ideal case would be that all build scripts should move to python3.

To be honest this looks like a huge workaround that can be solved much simpler:

python2 waf configure
python2 waf build

Which is easy enough to do in a PKGBUILD in my opinion.

I did add a simple check to 'configure' now in any case.
