+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] python module: Respect PATH when python is not given in
+ machine file
+
+We should only fall back to the Python interpreter running Meson itself
+if `python3` is not found in the PATH.
+
+A couple of tests relied on the old behaviour. Under Arch/PyPy, the
+PATH's `python3` does not point to PyPy. Unfortunately, other
+Python-based tools like g-ir-scanner are installed with a shebang of
+`/usr/bin/env python3` on Arch, so adjusting the PATH to point to a
+different Python breaks such tools. We must therefore specify `python`
+in a machine file instead.
+
+We also have to now exclude "test cases/frameworks/1 boost" on Arch/PyPy
+because it cannot work against PyPy. It was previously using CPython,
+despite Meson itself running under PyPy, but the machine file has
+changed that.
