 This issue is relevant to the following ticket: #29913

 In short, the problem in #29913 was that Python 3 scripts cannot depend on
 a hardcoded path in order to find the Python 3 executable, because the
 path itself is not immutable. (For instance, as seen in that ticket
 itself.

 Unfortunately, the same exact issue also applies to Python 2 scripts and
 their relevant executables.
