Subject: configure: add check for python interepreter name
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bd96b4c4ba7eb87a18e73c2808834431e4590f34;p=notmuch.git

configure: add check for python interepreter name

Currently we hardcode "python" in several places. This makes things
hard for people who have only commands called python3 and/or
python2. We also add the name to sh.config to eventually replace the
current workaround in the test suite.
