During my recent work I needed to use path for generated interpreter in several places and found the need to repeat ${buildout:bin-directory}/${python-interpreter:interpreter} both tiring and error-prone, because the knowledge where executable is placed is implicitly used and relied upon.

On the other hand:

• pygolang already provides ${gpython:exe} as reference to the place where gpython is installed (see e1d269b4)

• pygolang already uses :exe for interpreter generated to accompany pyprog (see 0ee52376 and e328aa49)

So python-interpreter not providing :exe is an oversight and the logical fix is to start providing python-interpreter:exe as well.

-> Do it and convert */software.cfg throughout the tree, where python-interpreter is found, to use it.
