Same for Debian/Ubuntu, our pygobject source package builds both
python-gi (for py 2) and python3-gi, and they are co-installable.

$PYTHON is not really a standard in any way, it needs to be explicitly
supported by the project you are running. It works for some libraries,
but I wouldn't expect it to work for any application.

Right, that's usually how applications are started. Directly with a
shebang, or through a thin shell script wrapper which calls "python
/usr/share/whatever/foo.py".
