The case that "python" is a Python 3 binary is not a supported installation (see PEP 394). asdl_c.py works on both 2.x and 3.x unmodified in the 3.x branch, however, backporting this to 2.7 would be a new feature (support for building on systems where "python" is Python 3). The proper work-around is to "make touch" after a hg update to bring the files in the right order. #15923 is really a separate issue since it complains about an actual bug in asdl_c.py. So I propose to close this as "won't fix".
