relevant code:
    if ($module eq "hstore_plpython" ||        $module eq "ltree_plpython")    {        die "Python not enabled in
configuration"           if !defined($config->{python});
 
        # Attempt to get python version and location.        # Assume python.exe in specified dir.        my
$pythonprog= "import sys;" .          "print(str(sys.version_info[0]))";        my $prefixcmd = $config->{python}
      . "\\python -c \"$pythonprog\"";        my $pyver = `$prefixcmd`;        die "Could not query for python
version!\n"if $?;        chomp($pyver);        if ($pyver eq "2")        {            push @opts,
"--load-extension=plpythonu";           push @opts, '--load-extension=' . $module . 'u';        }        else        {
         # disable tests on python3 for now.            chdir "..";            return;        }    }
