When I worked on the writerfilter python scripts, I saw that at least
$(call gb_ExternalExecutable_get_command,python) returns an internal
Python 3 on Windows, but uses the system Python on Linux / OS X, which
is indeed confusing, as on OS X, the system Python is 2.x. (I.e. my only
choice was to use a subset of Python that is OK on both 2.x and 3.x.)

Hopefully that's not independent from the Python that is used for pyuno.
;-)

Miklos
