Use shutil.which or find_executable to find path to PANDOC #11

Closed MartinMartimeo closed 8 years ago

Just calling pandoc does not work on all systems and a more preferred way is in finding the executable by python methods. This will try to find the pandoc executable it via the shutil lib or the distutil lib.

Oh, this is actually cooler than my PR, I was even doing

import subprocess
pandoc.core.PANDOC_PATH = subprocess.check_output(['which', 'pandoc']).strip()

TIL shutil.which
