Python 3 is the default for Arch Linux and Python 2 is commonly
installed alongside it.  The FEniCS build scripts in the Arch User
Repository (e.g. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58971)
make substitutions in the source to use Python 2, such as:

find ./ -name "*" -type f -exec \
        sed -i 's#\(/usr/bin/env \|/usr/bin/\)python[2-3]*#\1python2#' {} \;

It may save you some time if you are going down the same road.
