Turns out python3 *was* installed so I had to tell it to behave:

sudo apt install python-is-python3

I knew there were good reasons I turned down Python as a language to learn.

However, python setup.py still complains that there is no module named
'setuptools'.

I'm stopping at this point. Python is clearly too badly broken to be
worth pursuing.

That, and any language whose reserved words begin with @@__ and end with
__@@ is brain-dead from the start.
