> Since [PR 962|https://github.com/apache/incubator-beam/pull/962], dependency.py will use {{sys.executable}} to source the python executable to use for managing dependencies. However, as stated in the [python docs|https://docs.python.org/2/library/sys.html#sys.executable]:
> bq. If Python is unable to retrieve the real path to its executable, sys.executable will be an empty string or None.
> To mitigate this, we should allow setting the python executable to use via an environment variable.
