I think that it's a good idea to not only state that python should be Python 2, but also that python2 should be implemented and that scripts should specify it, to provide redundancy and handle distros that won't or have not yet switched back to the python -> python2 convention. I've . In any event, I do agree that there needs to be a clear standard coming from the Python community. Should I submit a PEP for this?

If you want this to become policy: yes, you will have to specify a PEP for that. Even a PEP might not make it policy (practicality beats purity), but not having a PEP guarantees that it won't become policy.
