Because the scripts in bin/ use the "/usr/bin/env python" trick. You need a symlink from "python -> python2" somewhere earlier in your $PATH.
But why provide the --with-python configure option if you end up having to have python in your path after all ? It would make more sense if it allowed pointing to a working python anywhere. I can think of several situations where that might be desirable, for security or debugging purposes, and only one of them is "because I run debian" :-)
