We use hard-coded strings for python calls.
Examples:
        ./src/support/ForkedCalls.cpp:308
        ./src/support/Systemcall.cpp:170
        ./src/support/filetools.cpp:410
        ./src/graphics/GraphicsConverter.cpp:276

so that full path is not helpfull. On unix I can make a symbolic link
e.g.
        # ln -s /usr/bin/python3 $HOME/bin/python
and lyx is still working. ($HOME/bin is at the beginning of my path)

Something similar should be possible for windows too.
