My quick reaction is that

  PYTHONBIN should be for the target system, via lang/python/application.mk

  TOOL_PYTHONBIN should be for the build host via USE_TOOLS += python or
  something like lang/python/tool.mk.

Of course some packages may use both.  Probably most python packages as
py-culture is to run python programs to configure.
