I fear this causing packaging problems, but as-is we require Python 3 for most of our Python files but don't actually check for that in configure. We should be consistent about this. Some projects (notably wasm) also use the Python version detected here, so bumping this will also bump the version used in those cases (a good thing, since there are some known bugs when using the scripts with Python 2).
