There's no real guarantee that "python3" exists (nor "python" as such).
FreeBSD for example insits on the full version, you must not depend on
"python", "python2", "python3" etc., only the fully versioned
interpreter is allowed ("python3.8").
But don't worry, we (FreeBSD) know how to deal with that during
packaging.

That would be "as expected" for modules (which are not called directly
but only referenced via "import"). They really don't need that +x.
