It seems that not all Windows users have an executable named python3 on their machine, and Windows installations of Python from the website perhaps just name the executable python. However, it's important that our scripts run under Python 3. We need to update our base orca.bat batch script to use either python3 or python depending on what's available (and probably do a version check too).

On further review I guess this sometimes applies to Linux systems too. Generally I guess it's just not wise to rely on the presence of python3.
