Just to underline this -- as a systems person, the thing I expect from scripts
is predictability. If I run `python3 --version`, before running a script, I
expect that any script invoking python3 will be using that version. If a
script uses a different version of python without being explicitly told to do
so, it would be confusing and, I expect, frustrating.
