From 2bfa93e01c1574343236b8d0052ad5e2964a363c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] treewide: python{ => .pythonForBuild}.interpreter

It won't be enough to fix cross in all cases, but it is in at least
one: pywayland.  I've only made the change in cases I'm confident it's
correct, as it would be wrong to change this when python.interpreter
is used in wrappers, and possibly when it's used for running tests.
