[Zope-dev] utilities and python version in zope2.12

[Andreas Jung]

As Tres already pointed out: the *relevant* scripts are registered using
entry points afaik and will use the right Python interpreter.

Wrong references to old Python versions in

src/AccessControl/securitySuite/regressionSecurity.py
src/Products/ZCTextIndex/tests/mhindex.py

should be fixed but this only a cosmetic issue here.
