Are there any systems with python version 3 installed only as the name 'python', or does everyone with python 3 follow the PEP recommendations and have a 'python3' available? (It matters on whether your list needs two instead of one spelling for acceptable programs to attempt).
There is talk about allowing a plain 'python' to refer to python 3 as a convenience for humans. Anywhere which does that will still also provide a 'python3' binary. So ignoring existance of 'python' seems like the safer option for scripts.
