Description
This issue is a continuation #7
Using python2 as an executable name solves some of the problems on Linux.
On systems without this naming scheme though, everything breaks down, so to say.
I propose using something like python-shell or node-python.
The binary location could then be exposed via a library options, with fallbacks on an environment variable and a hardcoded value (or a search for the executable if we think that's a good idea^^).
The other benefit of switching to a separate library for calling the python script is better output and error handling.
