I know the hack of creating a dummy "bin" directory, with a
python->python2 symlink is a trick already used by nodejs, but I don't
like it very much.
Is "python" hardcoded is so many places in Qt5Webkit ? If not, what
about patching it instead, and submitting the patch upstream (though
I'm not sure qtwebkit is still maintained, since they moved to
qtwebengine I believe).
Peter, Julien?
Thanks,
Thomas
