Change executable from python to python3 for non-Windows systems #16

Closed DavesCodeMusings closed 10 months ago

DavesCodeMusings commented 11 months ago

Currently for non-Windows systems, the executable used to run mpremote commands is python. It's probably more appropriate to use python3. While systems may symlink python to python3, it's best not to rely on this behavior.

Comments from Linux / OSX users are welcome before this change is made.

At least the way my python is setup on OSX via homebrew installion, there is no 'python' executable - just python3 - a symlink from python to python3 works well for a short term fix but as you say Apple and/or Homebrew have a habit of undoing things.

Implemented in 1.21.5
