On my hardened ~amd64 machine I see the following error when executing the subversion test suite:

===
cd subversion/tests/libsvn_subr && /bin/sh /var/tmp/portage/dev-vcs/subversion-1.7.8/work/subversion-1.7.8/libtool --tag=CC --silent --mode=link x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -shar\

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

On my system the default is python 3 which doesn't like the syntax in run_tests.py, but is invoked by '#!/usr/bin/env python'.

Committed a fix. Now Python version should be set properly independently of whether Python bindings are enabled or not.
