Going in, thanks @Flamefire!

On CentOS6 (with python-2.6.6), I had to add Python 2.7 as a builddep.

builddependencies = [('binutils', '2.32'), ('Python', '2.7.16')]

otherwise it failed to build with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/runpy.py", line 122, in _run_module_as_main
"main", fname, loader, pkg_name)

Ouch, there is an OS with Python 2.6? Isn't easybuild itself running on 2.7?

According to https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/install-compile-source.html bazel supports Python 2&3 so I'd rather install Python 3.7.4 as builddependency

@Flamefire Python 2.6 is the system Python in CentOS 6. We still support running EasyBuild on top of Python 2.6, but not for much longer (we're deprecating that support for the next EasyBuild release, see easybuilders/easybuild-framework#3076).

@JackPerdue Please open an issue on this, it's impossible to keep track of things to do in merged PRs.

Done. #9295
