Sorry but I don't get it: The script reports the version of host's
python which might be different from what we are building native and
cross. When something is trying to link against python libs and is
using this script this crashes for host's with python < 3.5. This is a
bug. It should be either corrected or using of pkg-config should be
enforced if possible.

By the way: What was wrong with the shell script exactly? We have used
it for long time and it reported the correct version.
