no python2 in macOS 10.12

No python2 executable file in /usr/bin in macOS 10.12.

Maybe you should use shebang with python or python2.7

I think it could be better that you create a symbolic link for python2 yourself.

The Python website recommends using python for Python 2, and python3 for Python 3. I can't find any docs on their website recommending python2 - this seems to be something that some Linux distros do just to fix an obvious omission. (It's also worth noting that Arch symlinks python to python3, for added fun.)

Given that it's extremely unlikely there's going to be a Python 2.8, I'm just going to use python2.7 to make everyone's life easier.

Another suggestion: how about add this function to templete.py?

First of all, in the future please create new issues to track separate bugs / feature requests instead of re-using existing ones.

Secondly, there isn't any clear response on ycm-core/YouCompleteMe#2330 about the direction YCM is going to take. I'd like to hold off on merging a workaround for this until we know what they're doing.
