Could the attached patch be applied to the version of Automake that Arch ships? It makes it so that when a software project using Automake specifies a minimum Python version of 2.*, a 2.* interpreter will be used if available (and not a 3.* interpreter). Often, if the minimum Python version is specified as 2.*, it means that only Python 2 will work, but on Arch, Python 3 will be chosen since "python" is the first interpreter tested.

I've also submitted a bug upstream; see here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2012-12/msg00010.html
   automake_prefer_python_2.patch (0.6 KiB)
This task depends upon

When upstream accepts the patch, I will apply it.
