And it's always been that way since the dawn of py3 :-) When I made my
changes they where to correct corner cases when there was only one of 2 or
3 installed, or nothing was installed and for further selecting the py
version if configuration conditions where specified. I.e. having more than
one of py3 configured never worked correctly. Although it was likely a
silent undefined behavior of which actual py version it used under the hood.
