Description Emil Velikov 2014-09-18 19:15:16 UTC 
If one is to have a python symlink that points to python3 (everyone running Archlinux), the build in src/shaders/post_processing/gen5-6/ will trigger an python assertion.

The patch [1] resolves the problem, by checking if the system has python2 and uses it. Whenever it is not found it falls back to the original behaviour and uses python.

How to reproduce:
 - ls -s `which python3` python - create the symlink in current dir
 - ./autogen.sh && make - proceed with the normal build
