checkpatch: scripts/spdxcheck.py now requires python3
Since commit d0259c42 ("spdxcheck.py: Use Python 3"), spdxcheck.py explicitly expects to run as python3 script. If "python" still points to python v2.7 and the script is executed with "python scripts/spdxcheck.py", the following error may be seen even if git-python is installed for python3. Traceback (most recent call last): File "scripts/spdxcheck.py", line 10, in <module> import git ImportError: No module named git To fix the problem, check for the existence of python3, check if the script is executable and not just for its existence, and execute it directly.
