Your own example showed a hard link!  Not a hard link, a symlink.  We
are seeing the same thing!

Yup, a hard link!  Could be a symlink, could be a hardlink, in this
case exactly same result.  /usr/bin/python needs to be a link, a
symlink, a hardlink, a loader, or whatever magic you  want, as long
as it performs to the Python documentation.

I'm done sending pointers.  I already sent you all the links you need
to the very clear Python documentation.  If you think the Python
documentation is incorrect, or otherwise deficient, you need to take it
up with the Python folks.

Yes, exactly as Gentoo does.  Except the missing python -> python3.6.
That is REQUIRED by the doc links I already sent you.  So, broken.  A
broken install that does not conform to the Python documentation.

This is the NTPsec list.  If you have trouble installing Python to
do what the Python documentation says it should, then you need to
work it out with the Python people.

NTPsec follows Python convention as documented by the Python people.
That is all we need to know here on the NTPsec list.
