IMO the logic to choose `python-shell-interpreter' is misguided. The
default value should be just "python", since if you are doing anything
with Python and "python" doesn't point to the right version, then you
are in trouble anyway. OTOH, if you really need to work with Python 2
and symlink "python" accordingly then the current default proactively
puts you in trouble.
Personally I'd be happy to see a patch fixing `python-shell-interpreter'.
