We use Python outside p4 tests (e.g. remote-svn test), and the way
they invoke the interpreter is to say "$PYTHON_PATH" and avoid
saying "python" which picks whatever random version of Python
interpreter happens to be the first on $PATH.  Shouldn't the tests
touched by this series be doing the same?
