Check for HOMEBREW_PREFIX/share/python and python3
in PATH and tell about the new location and that
files from there can be removed. Also instructions
on how to upgrade python packages are given.
Pinned formulae which were pinned at a previous version but then upgraded
would not be listed by `brew list --pinned`. This is due to the good old
"File.exist? thinks broken symlinks don't exist" gotcha, so the test in
the select block in list_pinned has been changed to check if the pin file
exists _or_ is a symlink.

New `depends_on :python` Dependency.
New `depends_on :python3` Dependency.
To avoid having multiple formulae with endings -py2 and -py3,
we will handle support for different pythons (2.x vs. 3.x)
in the same formula.
Further brewed vs. external python will be transparently supported.
The formula also gets a new object `python`, which is false if
no Python is available or the user has disabled it. Otherwise
it is defined and provides several support methods:
python.site_packages # the site-packages in the formula's Cellar
python.global_site_packages
python.binary # the full path to the python binary
python.prefix
python.version
python.version.major
python.version.minor
python.xy # => e.g. "python2.7"
python.incdir # includes of python
python.libdir # the python dylib library
python.pkg_config_path # used internally by brew
python.from_osx?
python.framework?
python.universal?
python.pypy?
python.standard_caveats # Text to set PYTHONPATH for python.from_osx?
python.if3then3 # => "" for 2.x and to "3" for 3.x.
Further, to avoid code duplication, `python` takes an optional
block that is run twice if the formula defines depends_on
:python AND :python3.
python do
system python, 'setup.py', "--prefix=#{prefix}"
end
