Bug Description
I've set Python 3.6 as default Python interpreter. This will cause the startup script `/usr/bin/
```
$ terminator
File "/usr/bin/
except (KeyError,
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
```
Changing it from `#!/usr/bin/python` to `#!/usr/bin/env python2` would use the correct Python version even if Python 3 is default.
System information:
```
$ terminator --version
terminator 1.91
$ uname -a
Linux dba 4.9.0-3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.30-2+deb9u3 (2017-08-06) x86_64 GNU/Linux

```
