Indeed, this is the workaround. The problem is that we've had folks with
Homebrew Python where we end up finding `/usr/bin/python`, the library
from the SDK, and the headers from Homebrew. This, to say the least,
tends not to work out too well. However, you usually don't know until
your `pvpython` ends up busted, so instead we put the logic in the
superbuild. That escape hatch is there to avoid the check, but you
really should be using Python bits which agree on their version.
