Comment:
This would be handy also for testing that the build works with different python versions. Just came to my mind as people are speaking of how "big" update just released python-3.11 is.

Ticket details:
Follow-up to #44735. Figure out whether there is a reasonable way to try different Python executables for use in environments/distros that offer backports of newer versions as e.g. python3.5. If there is, implement that way.
Primary obstacle is that this check probably has to happen in configure, so that the correct executable can be written into the Makefiles, but at the same time, configure must be able to pass without Python for the purposes of building from tarballs.
