+Subject: [PATCH] TOOLS: d2c.py: explicitly use the python3 interpreter
+
+When compiling Xvisor on a system not providing the "python"
+interpreter binary, compilation fails with output:
+
+    (d2c)       core/vio/keymaps/modifiers.c
+    /bin/sh: 1: /build/xvisor-0.3.2/tools/scripts/d2c.py: not found
+
+This commit fixes the issue following the PEP 394 recommendation:
+https://peps.python.org/pep-0394/
+
+It sets the "shebang" to `#! /usr/bin/env python3` to allow using other
+interpreters in the PATH, or virtual environment.
