Some platforms have `python` that aliases to `python3`, some alias it to `python2`, some only have `python` etc. so I'm not convinced it's a good idea to just change these broadly without considering possible platform specific requirements

My point exactly: the bulk of these scripts _are_ python3 scripts, so we can be precise. I'm unaware of any real systems where there is no python3 binary.  If this code wanted to handle systems where there is only a `python` then half of the scripts have the wrong shebang...
