Primary obstacle is that this check probably has to happen in configure, so that the correct executable can be written into the Makefiles, but at the same time, configure must be able to pass without Python for the purposes of building from tarballs.
It would be a lot easier, yet already a big improvement for the user, if we just supported passing python to use as parameter (env variable). That would avoid the detection code in configure, that would need to know if it really should detect (and set) python to use, or not.
./configure PYTHON="/home/cazfi/bin/the-improved-cazfi-python-4.5"

Ticket details:
Follow-up to #44735. Figure out whether there is a reasonable way to try different Python executables for use in environments/distros that offer backports of newer versions as e.g. python3.5. If there is, implement that way.
