[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Python usage in build (#2896)

[elextr]

> I just tested the Python 3.9 installer and it still installs the py launcher by default but not the real binaries.So, nothing has changed and the py launcher still seems like a good default for the filetype configuration.

Yes for sure, I was only talking about for the build.

> The whole thing about the py check is for the default value in `data/filedefs/filetypes.python.in. This is a configuration file.

Ahhh, ok, so yes these days it definitely needs to be python3 or py so Geany users code will work out of the box.

> We use MSYS2 packages exclusively.

Ok, are there any build time python scripts we control? (except `gen-api-gtkdoc.py` run from [here](https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/6ffaf515ef66d84ebece41abffda3bcdc390ab44/doc/Makefile.am#L136))

If any I guess they use the shebang, so we just need to change that, and apply the Debian patch for the above.

And do we check for a Python for the build (eg for rst2html)?
