Now that master branch is Python 3 only, we should use Python 3 shebangs. I just ran runtests.py and it used Python 2.. :)

I found that the Windows installation of Python 3.x does not have an executable called python3, so I'm not sure if we should keep this change.
$ ./tests/runtests.py settings_tests /usr/bin/env: ‘python3’: No such file or directory

I remember about discussions on this issue. Different systems/distributions have different strategies around using python, python2 or python3.
I would tend to think that the environment in which you are running your Python scripts should point python to the right version. So +1 for reverting.

Hm, except for legacy reasons it is not really possible to change (eg. all Debian-derived distributions).

pyenv helps -- it's the most convenient solution I know for running a modern Python on Debian.
