Build hosts where /usr/bin/python is Python3 are Doing It Wrong, and Python
upstream says don't do that.

Many other recipes depend on /usr/bin/python existing, so I'm not sure we
want to start building our own Python so early in the build just yet,
especially as we're trying to move away from Py2.  Can we not just list
python2 as a host dependency (to be honest, I thought it already was).
