Configure should search for versioned Python interpreter.

Following the guidelines in Python PEP 394 with regards to the python
|
|
|
0f20f5 |
command on UNIX like systems preference should be given to explicitly
|
|
|
0f20f5 |
versioned command interpreter as opposed to unversioned and that an
|
|
|
0f20f5 |
unversioned python command should (but might not) refer to
|
|
|
0f20f5 |
Python2. Also in some environments unversioned Python interpreters
|
|
|
0f20f5 |
(e.g. /usr/bin/python) do not even exist, onlyh their explicitly
|
|
|
0f20f5 |
versioned variants are (e.g. /usr/bin/python2 and /usr/bin/python3).
|
|
|
0f20f5 |
|
|
|
0f20f5 |
Therefore the AC_CHECK_PROGS directive in configure.ac should not rely
|
|
|
0f20f5 |
exclusively on an unversioned Python interpreter as it does not,
|
|
|
0f20f5 |
rather it should search in priority order. First for python3, then for
|
|
|
0f20f5 |
an unversionsed python because some distributions have already moved
|
|
|
0f20f5 |
the default unversioned python to python3, and then finally search for
|
|
|
0f20f5 |
python2. In the scenario where unversioned python is still pointing to
|
|
|
0f20f5 |
python2 it's equivalent to selecting the last prority option of
|
|
|
0f20f5 |
python2, but if unversioned python is pointing to python3 you get
|
|
|
0f20f5 |
instead. The net result is always preferring python3 but gracefully
|
|
|
0f20f5 |
falling back to python2 not matter how the environment exports it's
|
|
|
0f20f5 |
Python.
|
|
|
0f20f5 |
|
|
|
0f20f5 |
If AC_CHECK_PROGS for python does not check for the versioned variants
|
|
|
0f20f5 |
the build fails in environments that only have versioned variants with
|
|
|
0f20f5 |
this error:
|
|
|
0f20f5 |
|
|
|
0f20f5 |
configure: error: Python must be installed to compile lasso
