Hi!

commit 51839e29cb5954470ea4db7236ef8c3d77a6e0bb upstream.
Some distributions are about to switch to Python 3 support only. This means that /usr/bin/python, which is Python 2, is not available anymore. Hence, switch scripts to use Python 3 explicitly.
I'd say this is unsuitable for -stable.
Old distributions may not have python3 installed, and we should not change this dependency in the middle of the series.
What distro that was released in 2017 (the year 4.14.0 was released) did not have python3 on it?
Python is not listed in Documentation/Changes . Perhaps it should be?
It's not required to build/boot, just these helper scripts.
thanks,
