Description:
PEP 394 (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/) has now been accepted. Given this PEP is mostly in response to what Arch did to python, we should follow it as closely as possible. This means that we should never have "#!/usr/bin/python" or equivalent in any of our packages. They should always point to python2 or python3.

An (likely unsupported...) consequence of this is that a user could change their /usr/bin/python symlink to point at whatever version of python they would like without breaking any of their packages.
This task depends upon

Note: I assigned to Stéphane but this is obviously not a one packager issue... I will create a TODO list for what needs rebuilt.

 FS#27464  could be done during the 3.3 rebuild but its not. I see python-imaging still in there: http://www.archlinux.org/todolists/#184 Still depends on python2, still named python-imaging.
Wasnt this rebuild supposed to fix the naming thing?

edit: Same for  FS#31195
