Description:
Since v6.22 (https://root.cern/install/build_from_source/#after-v622) ROOT allows to work with both Python 2 and 3, if they are present in the system (I have both Pythons installed and use them to test my Python framework for data analysis).
It seems that this feature was unavailable for my root installation (however, I also had another version, and I can't be sure!)
Now I deleted the system installed `root`, so I can't check. Could you please tell if this feature is available, and if not, allow that?

I'm sorry for such a report, but I found no better way to ask this from the package page (https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/root/).

Additional info:
* 6.22

Steps to reproduce:
python -c 'import ROOT'
python2 -c 'import ROOT'
- both should work.
This task depends upon

Python 2 is EOL [1] and it is intended to be removed from the repositories when practically possible.
