use std::path::PathBuf;

let re = Regex::new(r"python\d$").unwrap();
let binaries: Vec<PathBuf> = which::which_re(re).unwrap().collect();
let python_paths = vec![PathBuf::from("/usr/bin/python2"), PathBuf::from("/usr/bin/python3")];
assert_eq!(binaries, python_paths);

Find all cargo subcommand executables on the path:
