[issue39633] venv does not include python<major>.<minor> symlink by default

[Vinay Sajip]

In general, people should be working in venvs. That means that libraries should assume they are being installed into venvs. Therefore makefiles should be invoking plain "python" rather than "pythonX.Y", as they can never be sure which exact interpreter they're running under (you might have a newer one than the one in the Makefile - that shouldn't fail). Why not raise this as an issue with these projects?
