So how do you propose I build Qt 4 qtwebkit now?

* The package is no longer supported by upstream, so it will never be fixed
  upstream.
* It has dozens of build scripts expecting python to be Python 2.
* Dozens of applications still depend on it, so dropping it is not an
  option.

Having a python2-unversioned-command available (conflicting with the default 
python-unversioned-command) would make for a quick fix to keep it building. 
Any other alternative looks highly impractical to me.
