I don't understand the issue; can't you just set PYTHON=python2 when
calling configure, and in case you need some scripts in auxiliar call
them by prepending python2 instead of relying on the shebang?

If you're afraid of forgetting to pass these options, a solution is to
define a couple of bash aliases in an shell environment dedicated for
lily development.
