Fixed faulty assumption: not all systems default to python2 as "python". #77

I updated the play script to work on Arch Linux, a system for which the default python is python3; only a single character modification was required.

…python3.

The play script makes the implicit assumption that python2 will be the default
python in $PATH; this is not the case, for instance, on Arch Linux. Explicitly
setting the version of python to invoke solves the issue.

I can confirm the bug, and I'm also using ArchLinux. But I don't know if the solution will work everywhere after changes.

By the way, I'm preparing an AUR for Arch Linux community (available soon, see here: https://github.com/gre/play-packages).
It will fix the problem by patching the play script.

Reasonable enough; the confused state of Python is an undesirable complication. I do know that the patch I submitted to you is valid also on Debian derivative systems, for what it's worth.
