On my macOS machine, there is no python binary on the PATH. In this day and age (15 months after Python 2 has gone EOL), it doesn't seem crazy to default to Python3. Users who don't have python3 available could supposedly still run `python x.py` manually. This assumes that any environment where `python` is at version 3, `python3` is also on the PATH.

On Windows, the problem is using the official Python installer with a shell that emulates a Linux environment (such as MSYS2 or git bash). This combination doesn't work because the official installer does not create a python3 alias. |

Okay, just going to close this then. The Windows situation seems totally broken. |
