Description Michał Górny archtester

For some reason, the 'other' Python tools 2to3 and pydoc are symlinked to the selected Python version rather than wrapped. For that reason, they don't respect EPYTHON.

I believe we should replace these two with regular wrappers, of any kind.

This is fixed in the current python-exec'd dev-lang/python.
