Can it be assumed that some python scripts can work with any version of
python we provide?
Maybe we can add some package variable like: ANY_PYTHON_IS_OKAY=yes and
then PYTHONBIN could just be non-versioned ${LOCALBASE}/bin/python.
Thsi would help so changing python versions installed wouldn't make us
have to rebuild packages needing it.
And then we still need the non-versioned ${LOCALBASE}/bin/python
installed though.
