Comment # 5 on bug 8995 from
OK, that's not the only problem; ncp2222.py has some cases where Python 3 is
complaining about inconsistent use of tabs and spaces for indentation, as well
as a bunch of changes 2to3 lists.

Reopening, so we can decide whether to punt on this or to push forward.

NOTE: if we punt and require Python 2, if /usr/bin/python is Python 3, then the
configure script's attempt to find python2 will use the already-cached
/usr/bin/python and think *it's* python2 (at least on my Ubuntu 12.04 VM), so
we'll need to fix that to flush the cache.
