bug#30556: [PATCH] Python tests should run with multiple python versions

[Bogdan]

Hi.

 I have both Python v2 and v3 installed on my system. The tests shown 
in the provided error log pass for me, in all cases:

- no version - defaults to 3.9.8

make check TESTS='t/nobase-python.sh t/py-compile-basic.sh 
t/py-compile-basedir.sh t/py-compile-destdir.sh 
t/py-compile-option-terminate.sh t/python3.sh t/python10.sh 
t/python12.sh '

- explicit v2 (2.7.18):

PYTHON=python2 make check TESTS='t/nobase-python.sh 
t/py-compile-basic.sh t/py-compile-basedir.sh t/py-compile-destdir.sh 
t/py-compile-option-terminate.sh t/python3.sh t/python10.sh 
t/python12.sh '

- explicit v3:

PYTHON=python3 make check TESTS='t/nobase-python.sh 
t/py-compile-basic.sh t/py-compile-basedir.sh t/py-compile-destdir.sh 
t/py-compile-option-terminate.sh t/python3.sh t/python10.sh 
t/python12.sh '


I guess this got fixed in the repository since the defect was 
reported. Some of the tests touch the "uninstall" target and that 
certainly was changed.

My Automake version:
- branch: master
- last commit ID: 0901ccdd0cb21bfa3911a2668615e388fef94426
- last commit date: Wed Mar 1 15:03:30 2023 -0800

Actually, I could fix t/python-prefix.sh to work with Python v2 and 
t/python-virtualenv.sh to work at all (didn't work by default for me). 
Patch attached. Now all tests with "py" in the name pass on my system 
(both with v2 and v3). I assume that Automake, 'make install' and 
'make uninstall' do their job correctly (and that's most probably 
true) and it's just the tests that were doing wrong.
