If you really want to be sure to always find python3 when running Meson (and not some other implementation like Muon) it is a bit better to use
find_program('python3')
, as described in https://mesonbuild.com/Reference-manual_functions.html#find_program: "if the "python3" program is requested and it is not found in the system, Meson will return its current interpreterEdit: by better I mean faster and less ambiguous (as this will simply look for python3 in $PATH when Meson is not running through a python interpreter), see mesonbuild/meson#3856 (comment)
