Per PEP 0394 [1], for script compatibility, there should be a "python2" command available where Python 2.x is available, and only scripts compatible with both Python 2 and Python 3 should specify "python" in their shebang. But there is no "python2" command in the MozillaBuild's path. This should probably be an upstream bug, though. [1] https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/

We already do something similar in that we create a python2.7.exe copy during packaging. I'm going to take the easy way and just do the same with python2.exe. It's only 27KB, so I don't think disk space concerns are an issue here. http://people.mozilla.org/~rvandermeulen/MozillaBuildSetup2.2.0pre1.exe (77.5MB) SHA-256: f929bffff830d608a81206592458df1bc9a40db4627649f0c8e9d4d8c0e1d2fe
