Description

In systems with both python2 and python3 installed, with python3 as the default, qpid-tools scripts (qpid-stat, qpid-config etc) fail due to being executed with the unsupported python3 VM. If the scripts require python2, should they not specify this in their shebangs, eg:
#!/bin/env python2.7
rather than
#!/bin/env python
?
