i don't think we want to support shipping a bundled Python 2.

but for system python, we probably should support Python 2 for a couple
more releases; it's already possible to override the default by setting
PYTHON/PYTHON_CFLAGS/PYTHON_LIBS vars.

the pyuno bridge can be built to run with both Python 2 and 3, but that
is a compile time setting.

the important question is of course if we can get all the Python code we
ship converted so it runs on both Python 2 and 3.
