python3 exists, python does not. So you create python by linking
it to python3. As Fred says: like cp.
How about instead:
Alternatively, you can create a link to you python3, called python.
Like so:
ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python

Yeah, *BSD are weird. tell me how you do it, and I'll add that
as well.

Then INSTALL.adoc should point to that.

I never used it. Never worked for Gentoo.

Not everyone uses SELinux. Linus says he hates SELinux. Doing it for
all distributiuons would be a can of worms. I'll stay away from that
subject.
