Arch Linux has had “python” being 3.x for a long, long time.
Welcome to the club!

The easiest (and more tractable) way of dealing with this is
using a virtualenv. Quick recipe:

  % cd ~/devel/WebKit/
  % virtualenv .pyenv -p $(which python2)
  ...
  % source .pyenv/bin/activate
  % python -V
  Python 2.7.16
  % deactivate
  % python -V
  Python 3.7.4
  %

Done, now “python” is version 2.7 and all the WebKit tooling will
work just fine. Remember to source the “activate” script when needed.
Or let something like https://github.com/inishchith/autoenv automate
that for you =)
