Unfortunately the build fails on FreeBSD[2]. Google didn't want to explain

have any idea what is wrong here?
I don't know about FreeBSD policy on this, but those FreeBSD systems
that I work with alwys "only" had a python2 and/or python3 executable
and not a genric "python" one, which breaks a lot of scripts and
requires manual editing :/
I guess it's worth asking some FreeBSD list/forum about this, if it's
not a FAQ.
We can install the "python" package that adds a symlink from python2
to python. My main issues with this approach is:
* Some of our scripts don't work with python3
* Python2.7 will be around for a long time (and was recently forked)
So when the build breakage came up I preferred to be honest and say it
is a python2 script.
