[systemd-devel] [PATCH] *.py: don't hardcode /usr/bin/python

[David Strauss]

We could also move more tools outside the main systemd package and
into PIP. PIP alters the top of any registered Python executable to
use the version of Python corresponding to the version of PIP used to
install it. Fedora packages both Python 2.7 and Python 3.2/3.3 PIP
clients.
