On **os: windows** and **os: osx** the tag **language: python** should be allowed even if it does nothing at all.

On **os: osx** the tag **language: generic** works but it does not work on **os: windows**.

The best would be if **language: python** did a **brew install python** on **os: osx** and a **choco install python** on **os: windows** because the current approach is too inconsistent and error-prone.

With just 345 days until Python 2 end of life, Travis CI should stop defaulting to legacy Python… [http://pythonclock.org](http://pythonclock.org)
