Description

From the README

Configuring Python Dependency

...

Maybe we should have sensible defaults instead.
Python is Python 3 now and node-gyp should work out of the box with it.

Research direction

Start with the “Configuring Python Dependency” section in the README and trace how node-gyp currently selects Python. Determine which sensible Python 3 defaults the issue expects and how node-gyp should work without extra configuration. Done means the documented behavior and implementation agree, with relevant verification added if the repository identifies a suitable test.
