It would be better if you could just configure gst-python to use a specified
version of PYTHON.  For example, if you set the PYTHON environment variable
before configuring to a specific version, it should honor that, and default
back to "#!/usr/bin/env python" if none is specified.  Other modules work this
way.
For example, note gobject-introspection version 0.6.9:

The configure.ac file uses AM_PATH_PYTHON like this which sets PYTHON to the
executable name.

AC_MSG_CHECKING([whether Python support is requested])
AM_PATH_PYTHON([2.5])

Then the python script tools/g-ir-scanner.in has this to specify the "#!" line
at the beginning.

#!@PYTHON@

Wouldn't it make sense to use this sort of flexible mechanism that other GNOME
modules are using already?
