Of course that only applies to scripts executed by the CMake build. That obviously won't work for the developer scripts to be modified in (2-5). For those scripts, the best approach is still to use #!/usr/bin/env python like we do now, and just ensure the scripts work with both versions of python, until such time that python3 is available for Apple.
