KiCad now officially only supports Python 3.

The current minimum Python version is 3.7 (due to a module test call we use) but we are looking at potentially supporting Python 3.6 if we can handle dynamic reloads.

I have 2.7 and 3.6 installed. The build process only sees the 2.7 version of Python and not my 3.6 version of Python.

If 3.7 is required I won't be able to build it until I can update the version of distro I run. Not easy for me to update my distro as someone broke the update/upgrade process pretty much requiring a fresh install in order.
