because some environments now have a plain `python` executable for
Python 3.

``find_package(PythonLibs)``, call ``find_package(PythonInterp)`` first to
get the currently active Python version by default with a consistent version
of PYTHON_LIBRARIES.
.. note::
A call to ``find_package(PythonInterp ${V})`` for python version ``V``
may find a ``python`` executable with no version suffix. In this case
no attempt is made to avoid python executables from other versions.
Use :module:`FindPython3`, :module:`FindPython2` or :module:`FindPython`
instead.
