For me, the find_package(PythonInterp) call was always finding the older > interpreter (2.7) even though everything pointed to the newer one (3.6). > (from https://reviews.llvm.org/D64881) > This behavior is unfortunate on Ubuntu 20.04 Focal, where both python2 and > python3 are available, but pip for python2 is not packaged. Therefore it > makes sense to build proton with python3; which would make sense anyways, > since Python 2.7 is deprecated by the Python Software Foundation nowadays.. > Besides removing python2 as discussed on the linked page, there is currently > nicer way to force python3 that worked for me, by setting > {{-DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python3}} CMake variable. > Related dispatch issue, DISPATCH-187 -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@qpid.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@qpid.apache.org
