Makefile: use python3 instead of python by bfontaine · Pull Request #984 · python-babel/babel
You’re right.
According to tox-dev/tox#2801 on Windows you have to use python because python3 doesn’t exist, while on Debian (and so Ubuntu) you have to use python3 because python doesn’t exist. However, if you create a virtual environment with virtualenv or similar, you should have a python executable anyway, so this PR is not relevant.
