I changed couple of weeks ago all Python scripts
to use "python3", as all distros provide that, but
several of them don't anymore install the "python"
symlink (for v2).

From my earlier testing, I'd thought scripts to
be compatible with both Python versions, but when
I was last week doing more testing with TOS boot tester, I found some 
Python3 specific issues.

I need to do some extra testing with Hconsole,
profiler post-processor and Hatari UI to make sure
there aren't any other hidden Python3 issues.


Then there's also Uwe's issue.

I'm hopeful of getting above done before that.

PS. The large EmuTOS performance issue with Escape
demos turned out to be EmuTOS issue with its
Dsptristate() (Crossbar config) implementation,
it wasn't a Hatari issue.
