Does Splunk utilize its own Python installation?

Does Splunk utilize its own Python installation or is it pointing to my host computer python2 or python3 installation? If so, how can I change what python interpreter Splunk will use?

Yep. This is for Splunk 6.4.2:

[splunk@batavus bin]$ pwd
/home/splunk/bin
