Trying to append an executable suffix to towncrier does not work
on Linux, as it can create absurd names like
towncrier.7
(.7
comingfrom
python3.7
). Let's instead call it viapython -m towncrier
.This should avoid relying on correct
PATH
(as I presume the originalcode is meant to), while working correctly on all systems
and not requiring Python and towncrier to reside in the same directory.
