When using update-alternatives, the link created from /usr/bin/python to
/etc/alternatives/python isn't acceptable by pycentral. We need to
recursively follow the links until we get to e.g. /usr/bin/python2.4 .

Ideally however we wouldn't rely on the the filename of the target and
should perhaps parse the output of /usr/bin/python -v, or even parse
sys.version?

A patch is attached for the first case, dealing with recursion, and
should be applied against /usr/share/pycentral-data/pyversions.py.

** Attachment added: "Apply to /usr/share/pycentral-data/pyversions.py to add 
recursion"
